21 weeks and have low lying placenta, is sex safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low placenta: An ultrasound diagnosis of a "low lying placenta" means that the edge of the placental location is near the cervical canal. If the placenta was covering the canal, it would be called a placenta previa, which would pose problems for delivery, and could cause bleeding with sexual activity. Sex should be OK with a low lying placenta.
