Can someone on this thread please explain for me what increased monitoring means if someone has been diagnosed as placenta prevaria at her 19 week scan. One of my GFs has just been advised that she has placenta prevaria (@ 19 weeks) it is apparently currently over her cervix and she is freaking out a bit. I had low lying placenta with my DS but wasn't over cervix like hers but mine moved upwards so I know they can move. From memory I had to have an extra scan which i assume she will to. What happens if it hasn't moved at that stage. Will it mean bed rest or just watching or what happens from here. Her OB has said unless something changes dramatically that she will have to have a CS (which she is okay with if that is what is required).

Thanks all
