Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for about 23 weeks and has experienced some minor bleeding. The hospital examination revealed that the placenta is low-lying. The doctor advised bed rest, and now sometimes she has no bleeding for one or two days, while other days she has one or two episodes of bloody discharge. She has been on bed rest for about six days now. Do we need to take any medication, or is oxygen therapy necessary? The baby's movements are still normal, though not as frequent as before she started bed rest. Is there any way to help the low-lying placenta grow higher quickly? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, there is no way to make the placenta grow upwards faster. It is recommended to rest in bed and avoid strenuous activity. Follow up with an ultrasound after a while to see if the placenta has grown upwards.
