Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Sometimes the placenta will move upwards with progression of the pregnancy which is called migration of the placenta.
But presently as it is low lying and also as you are having chorionic hematoma, better to take rest.
Sudden painless bleeding is possible in cases of low lying placenta.
So better to be careful and apply leave till it move upwards and continue the pregnancy under supervision of your doctor.
If the migration do not occur you may need long leave so better to prepared for that.
