Should I be worried if I have placenta previa? & will exercising complicate things?

Question

Just found out that I have placenta previa. I’m 17 +4 weeks and I stopped exercising because my stomach would tighten so much and I was worried it would harm the baby. I haven’t worked out in a month now and I feel like crap with aches and pain. I am afraid to start working out again especially now that I found out I have placenta previa. Can anyone give me some advice who has or had placenta previa. Should I be worried and does this increases chances of miscarriage?

Answer

This is something you need to discuss with your doctor. My sister in law had placenta previa and was on bed rest for a month so it really depend on your body. I wouldn’t work out unless it was cleared by your doctor.

Answer

I was put on pelvic rest for 2-3 months. Eventually, it completely moved and no longer on pelvic rest and can have a normal delivery. Sometimes it just takes time for it to move

Answer

It’s early enough in your pregnancy to where it can resolve on its own I also had it with my last pregnancy little one is 2 1/2 weeks old now , and it resolved itself just rest take it easy no lifting anything !!!! No squatting or bending over as much as you can I know sometimes we just need to pick something up no sex if your at the end of your pregnancy and it hasn’t fixed itself then they will put you on bed rest

Answer

I had complete placenta previa. I was on complete pelvic rest, no exercise, i couldn’t even lift my laundry basket.  You are at an extreme risk of bleeding if previa ruptures. It’s life threatening for both your baby and yourself.
90% of the time it moves out of the way, but it’s serious when it’s there.   Talk to your doctor.
