How Does Complete Placenta Previa At 18 Weeks Affect The Baby?
I am 24 weeks pregnant now. Was regularly having brown discharge (little thick), a quarter spoon - 2-3 times daily since 12th week. Diagnosed with complete placenta previa in 18 weeks ultrasound. Doctor told me to be careful but not advised bed rest. Brown discharge continued. At 22 weeks, discharge turned red with similar qty. and frequency. Again ultrasound revealed partial placenta previa (type 3). Doctor put me on bed rest since then. Baby movement is felt normal. I am really worried? What can I expect?
