Usually, strenuous exercise and lifting and intercourse are restricted when a patient has a previa with staining or bleeding.

If it's a partial previa, the answer is usually. If it's a total previa, not too common. The placenta doesn't actually walk away from the cervix. Through growth of the uterus, the location of its attachments change position.
