What is the appropriate sleeping position for placenta previa?

Pass it on

Placenta previa is one of the pregnancy complications in which the placenta grows and descends into the bottom of the uterus and covers the cervix through which the baby passes during birth. This happens only in one of every 200 pregnant women.

The most popular question about this case is “what is the appropriate sleeping position for placenta previa?”. That’s because the sleeping position affects the stability of the placenta in the right position.

The answer for what is the appropriate sleeping position for placenta previa is to sleep on your side, especially the right side. It’s also recommended that women with placenta previa should reduce their activities and get enough bed rest.
