If placenta previa is diagnosed after 28 weeks and no bleeding has occurred, you will be most likely be put on bedrest to avoid bleeding. Intercourse is prohibited. Ultrasounds are usually done every 3 to 4 weeks to assess the location of the placenta.

The bleeding can be slight to gushing. The blood is bright red, which is different from pinkish, mucous bloody show. The uterus contracts frequently (every 1-2 minutes) from the irritation of the abruption and remains firm between the contractions. If you have these symptoms, call your doctor and go right to the hospital, especially if bleeding is heavy.

When you get to the hospital, you'll be watched closely, and the fetal monitor will evaluate if the bleeding is affecting the baby's oxygen supply.
