So i found out two weeks ago i have placenta previa..i am currently 21weeks and my week tracker says i may start feeling small contractions bc my body is practicing..and ive been feeling things that feel like small period cramps..so is the the practicing contractions or is it from having placenta previa?

It could be either, but most likely BH. Just let your Dr know if you have any bleeding. Mine moved up by 28 weeks.

I had partial placenta previa, which is where the placenta covers the cervix. However once I reached 32 weeks it  had moved. I think wwhat you're experiencing is braxton hicks contractions

What is plaventa previa? Also BH usually feels like a tightening in the stomach and pelvis area but are not supposed to feel like cramping. But everyone feels the differently
