I am 18 weeks pregnant. The placenta is on the right lateral wall of the uterus and is low lying, with the edge covering the internal os. I have bleeding every day (one teaspoon maximum) and sometimes a little watery discharge without touching undergarments. I am regularly consulting with my doctor, who suggests bed rest and prescribed medicines. My hemoglobin was 10.8 as per the 13 week test report. Can continuous bleeding affect the mother and baby? Is this condition curable?

This is placenta previa with threatened miscarriage. Daily bleeding is concerning. Strict bed rest and fetal monitoring are needed. Please take a Level 2 Ultrasound and CBC.

I have attached my report. It mentions notching in uterine arteries, and a resistance index of 0.59 on the left side and 0.51 on the right side. Could you please explain what notching in the uterine arteries is, and whether these values are normal?
