Low lying placenta & flying
I recently had my 20 week scan and the sonography told me my placenta was close to my birth canal. He didn’t seem concerned at all, just a rescan at 32 weeks and that worst case scenario would be a c-section.
I was given no advice about what can/can’t be done, but I have a two holiday booked in the next 6-7 weeks (no more than 3hour flights). I haven’t yet spoken to the midwives as the sonograoher didn’t make a big deal out of it, but googled and there’s mixed messages about flying. I wondered if anyone had a similar experience, or had any advice around flying?

I am in the exact same position and ditto everything you said. Planning to travel to Greece for a week end of August and had my 20wk scan 2 weeks ago with a similar outcome, anterior low placenta.
Haven't checked with midwives yet but maybe I should.....(haven't googled much yet because that can tend to be a slippery slope....) 🙈
I have an anterior low pressure placenta but they think it will move up by the 32 week scan. Do you know the measurements of what you need to move? Doesn’t it need to be 20mm away or something?
I am the same, think they said 2mm away. The only advice I got was no strenuous exercise like aerobics and to call immediately if any bleeding but they said 9/10 times it will move before 32 weeks
