Answer: Hi dear, few information to help to understand about it. Low-lying placenta, or placenta praevia, is a complication of pregnancy where the placenta that feeds the growing baby is attached to the lower part of the womb near to or covering the cervix. Low-lying placenta may be picked up during a routine 20-week ultrasound scan appointment. In some cases, a placenta that is seen to be low-lying will move upwards later in pregnancy. Any bleeding from placenta praevia at the entrance to the womb in the second half of the pregnancy can be heavy and a risk to the baby and the mother's health. After a low-lying placenta diagnosis, seek medical advice if there's any bleeding during pregnancy. Having a low-lying placenta means it is more likely a caesarean section delivery will be recommended.

Answer: If you have a low lying placenta you have to remember that there is a high chance of miscarriage. Not that I'm scaring you but to clear your head. You need to be very careful. Since your placenta is the one holding your baby Avoid travelling long distance Be on a bed rest or rest as much as possible. Do not go for any heavy excersises Avoid lifting heavy objects Do not strain. Avoid bending over Go for a mild walk . However it is always advicable to talk to your doctor about what precautions to be taken. Hope this helps
