    Dr. Deborah Raines of Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) answered:

    With a placenta previa the woman needs to contact her health care provider anytime she experiences:

    • Vaginal bleeding
    • Cramping or uterine contractions
    • Feeling of heaviness in the vagina
    • A change in the pattern of fetal activity

    Early intervention is the key to managing a pregnancy complicated by a placenta previa.
