A member asked:

19w2d pregnant, low lying placenta- anything i should know to do or not to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid sex: for now, avoid sex. The low lying placenta usually resolves with time as the placenta migrates to the top. Wait till getting a clear from your OB prior to resuming sex. best wishes Dr M
