Precautions for diet in placenta previa: If, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta covers or reaches the internal cervical os, it is termed placenta previa. Dietary management for placenta previa mainly involves maintaining a light and bland diet to avoid constipation caused by consuming spicy or irritating foods, as straining during bowel movements may lead to vaginal bleeding.
