i have a placenta praevia it started from the 12th week it hasnt changed and i am now 20 weeks tell me more about it and what precautions should i take?
GynaeDoc
Many women have low lying placentas at 20 weeks. It only becomes a problem if it persists after 28 weeks. Many will move out of the way before then. The only precution you could take at this stage is to avoid intercourse.
