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 am 35 years old and weigh 53 kg. I had a miscarriage this year in June at 5 weeks of pregnancy. I want to plan for another pregnancy and prepare my body for a healthy conception. My recent blood reports are all normal, and my hemoglobin is 11.1 g/dL. Could you please advise on steps, supplements, or lifestyle changes to improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy?

Dear doctor, I went to a government hospital for a pregnancy test for my wife. They said the pregnancy is positive, and something is written on the registration slip. I need your help to understand the test mentioned and whether the results are favorable or not. What is good or bad in the test? Thank you.
