Low lying placenta
Hi I’m pregnant with my second child and was told at my 20 week scan I have a low lying placenta. At the time the sonographer said to be careful lifting, having sex and to rest. I of course then googled it after and it says online a lot of people are also advised not to fly. I’m due to go on holiday next week.
I’ve contacted the midwife they said it’s at my discretion but to check if travel insurance covers this. Has anyone else experienced a low lying placenta and had advice around travel?

I was also told this and have another scan at 28 weeks to see if it’s moved up. I didn’t get any of this advice, but she said it’s not super low lying i.e. it’s not covering the cervix at all, and it’s about 1cm closer than they’d like it to be. Did the sonographer give you any detail about it?
I got told this and was told I could still travel. Im 21 weeks and will be 24 when I travel
I was told this this week and the advice was around not doing strenuous exercise and nothing around travel. I assume everyone will be different depending on the location of the placenta though?
