A member asked:

I am 11 weeks pregnant. what should i do and not do to ensure placenta is high later on. should i avoid exercise/stretching or anything else ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing to do: The placenta has is already developing in the implantation location and will rise with the uterus wherever that location is. There is nothing else you can do to change that process.
