Advice to take test is to improve the placental sufficiency . 1. I think you might have been explained by your gynacologist often placenta moves upwards later if not you should be careful till delivery . 2. If you do strenuous work .& even having sex results in bleeding which can cause abortion , placental insufficiency , fetal death . 3 .I if heavy bleeding occurs due to placental seperation there is danger to the mother also .
Next Steps
take bed rest . avoid sex .
Health Tips
1 . As already advised by your gynacologist , continue hormonal inj or progestogens which improves placental sufficiency .& prevents preterm labour . 2 . Take fe & calcium tab & folic acid tab .&cap Astymin fort .

Hi. At 16 weeks placenta will be near the os if it is low lying . Gradually it will be away from os . So nothing to worry . Bed rest is not required . Avoid strenous activities .
