Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
please don't worry. It's a common condition in pregnancy. As you are only 23 weeks of gestation now I have seen that in a majority of my patients the scan at term will show that the placenta has moved up.
There is no drug to treat this. I would recommend you to avoid travel, intercourse.
repeat scan at 34 weeks. If still problem persists then you will require caesarean section.
thanks
