What Does Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy Indicate?
Hi I ve been told to take complete bed rest for 3 weeks as i had spotting which was black in colour few days back. I am now 20 weeks.my scanning report showed lower margin of placenta is about 5.6 cm away from internal os and there is a thin fluid collection between poster I or wall of lower uterine segment and membranes. Is this something to worry about at this stage??
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice. Of course low lying placenta or placenta previa is something to worry because it gives bleeding. Follow your doctor s advice to keep bed rest.
