Low lying placenta

I had heavy bleeding today with few clots for 15-20 min that soaked up 1 heavy pad. Did ultrasound and found baby is fine but I have low lying placenta. Am 13+ weeks and gynae advised bed rest for a week Has anyone faced this and how much time it takes for placenta to move up? Will the bleeding happen again? #1stimemom #pregnancy #lowplacenta

mine was slightly low but not covering the cervix. it takes weeks, months for it to move up. by the time i was in last trim, luckily it moved and was safe enough to deliver vaginally

Did u have bleeding/spotting until it moved?
