I hv bn taking proluton since last 1.5months and last scan done in 22 wks shows placenta has not moved up. Is it safe to continue proluton and how to be taken. What will be the risk in delivery if placenta doesnot move up.

You should continue Inj Proluton up to 28 weeks.
Taking rest is ok but there is no need of head low position.
If your placenta doesn't move up, then you might need a cesarean.

Keep repeating the scan
Take bed rest with head low position
Watch for episode of bleeding
If placenta doesn't move up, there might be a need of preterm delivery, if u have episode of bleeding.
Moreover the mode of delivery will be Caeserean
