Zeinab, I had complete placenta praevia - with the placenta right over the cervix - with my ds (first child). I was lucky, in that I didn't get any bleeding at all until I was about 71/2months pg. Then I had two short lived but dramatic bleeds (blood literally bouncing off the floor) and I had to spend a month in hospital just in case before my baby was born by c-section. Your friend's case sounds less serious, and as the womb expands, the placenta may go up with it, moving it away from the cervix. Mine was so completely over the os that was never going to happen. There are simple things you can do to reduce your risk of a bleed, such as no penetrative sex & no vigorous exercise (I still walked about quite normally, visiting National Trust places etc etc). Drs usually recommend you take it easy, particularly as the p/g progresses, lots of sitting about. I still went to work until I had my first bleed, because I felt totally fine, but always took my notes with me everywhere just in case I had a bleed and had to be rushed in. The good news? After a month or so of appalling tedium in Kings, I had a great c-section with a wonderful consultant, a fabulous 8lb 8oz boy of rare beauty, and I was absolutely fine with no complications whatsoever. It really is a matter of luck, but not everyone with PP bleeds at all, and others are like me, with shortlived bleeds which resolve themselves. In short my advice is, take it easy, try not to worry too much, particularly as she doesn't even have the 'worst' kind of PP, no intercourse, and take a multivitamin with iron such as PRegnacare and eat iron-rich food, as you can end up losing quite a bit of blood either beforehand or during the section and it really pays to be phsysically prepared for that. PP is a painless condition but obviously needs to be taken seriously. However, with modern care I am sure your friend will be fine. If she wants to ask me any questions she can come on here if she likes! Oh, and she should be prepared for people being really ignorant about the condition, and if, like me, she explains she will probably be having a c-section, be prepared for comments like 'oh, taking the easy way out, then?' !!!! To which I replied, quite calmly, 'Well, really, it's more that I have a life-threatening condition that could strike at any moment', just because I secretely liked freaking people out. Funnnily enough, I never felt terrified, but do remember counting the days until I got to the stage of p/g where 99.9% of babies survive even if they are born a bit early.
