Asking For Self, Female, 26 Years old, lahore
AoA! I got my anomaly scan done at 21 weeks and found out that i have a low lying placenta. My question is what precautions do i need to take necessarily starting from now
don't do heavy work , try to avoid sexual intercourse if some bleeding appear then consult your doctor immediately and do obs scan monthly to check the location of placenta and baby growth
Only less than 5% will have a low lying placenta at term of present at this time . You cannot do anything about mostly with development of lower segment of uterus the placenta rises up by itself . Just report to your obstetrician if you have any active bleeding . You can avoid heavy exercise and heavy work. Careful intercourse.

Avoid intercourse and strenuous exercise
avoid all those work that increase your intraabd pressure....like wt lifting,,heavy exercise,,,also avoid intercourse,cough,constipation.....most of low lying placenta went up at 9 month...but try not to he alone at home...as a safety measure,,,as if unfortunately u start bleeding someone to be with u to take u to hospital
Apart from routine scans , scans are done at 32 and 36 wks for low lying placenta’s confirmation, regarding precautions avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous activity
