Hi all, 20w scan showed low placenta but they said it shouldn't be a problem as it's quite common at this stage and should move up as uterus grows. However, woke with heavy bleeding 20+3 and ended up in hospital for a couple of days. Home now and just dark spotting so seems to have sorted itself. I didn't have any scans or exams in hospital as they suspect it's the low placenta and don't want to aggravate it. Just said take it easy, no sex and come straight back if it starts again. Booked a few days off work as my office is on 3rd floor with no lift, cancelled yoga for next few weeks, not doing hoovering etc.
So, wondering if anyone's had similar and if the placenta moved up after a bleed, or if the bleed means its likely to stay low?
Grateful for any do's / don'ts too to avoid repeat episodes.
Thank you!
