Is Travelling Safe While Having Low Lying Placenta During Pregnancy?

Age: 31 years
Weight: 52 kgs
No medical history as such
I m 3 and a half months pregnant and my ultrasound report shows that i have a low lying placenta which leads to bleeding. I just want to confirm whether it is dangerous and can i travel by train a long distance.

Hi,
Normally placenta is located in the upper part of uterus.
If it is located in the lower part of uterus it is called as low lying placenta.
A low lying placenta at 3 and half months pregnancy is not of much concern.
As pregnancy grows it usually moves up. It usually does not cause bleeding and at this time of pregnancy.

So if this travailing is a must for you, and if you have not had bleeding so far you may travel.
If the journey is more than four hours take a break in the journey.
I find this answer helpful
