Could this become life >threatening to the baby? Are there things I should avoid, such as sex, This condition has been more commonly noted with the increased use of early ultrasound.I feel most of the time it resolves without problems.Bleeding is seen in approx.25% of women in the first 12 weeks;new studies have shown an increased risk of preterm labor later--this would bear directly on your history.Would avoid intercourse and orgasim at this time.Some vague evidence that Vit E may aid in development of placental vasculature--it won't hurt in low doses.Good luck!!
