Anterior placenta basically bleeds, but it does happen in some cases. I’ve seen it on the inpatient unit, where a person who was hospitalized at 37 weeks, 38 weeks for a cesarean section, and you ask for a history of the process, and she’ll tell us that she’s never had any vaginal bleeding like that. It’s true that some patients will present with no vaginal bleeding, and most placenta previa, especially central placenta previa, will present with recurrent vaginal bleeding in the earlier weeks. If it’s a borderline placenta praevia or a partial placenta praevia, the weeks of bleeding will be a little bit later and the amount of vaginal bleeding will be relatively less. When we get an ultrasound that suggests preexisting placenta, especially complete placenta praevia, and there has been no bleeding, another condition to be on the lookout for is the condition known as placenta implantation. Placental implantation is primarily a condition where the placenta is more adherent to the uterus, so it may not bleed during pregnancy. If you have a placenta previa, you should check the ultrasound regularly throughout the pregnancy, about every month to see the changes in the placenta on the ultrasound. The second one is to reduce some gravity work, especially lifting and carrying some heavy things, and keep the bowels clear, because constipation with the process of abdominal pressure, there may also be vaginal bleeding. Another thing is to avoid coitus.
