Hi ,
How are you doing ?
Let me first tell you that NEARLY EVERY PREGNANCY WILL HAVE PLACENTA IN THE LOWER UTERINE SEGMENT.
Placenta is formed at 12 weeks of pregnancy. There is no much growth in placenta after that, only the baby grows, so also the uterus . In early pregnancy as the space in uterus is restricted, the placenta which is a sponge like discoid structure will have some part of it in the lower segment. As the baby grows , the uterus also grows & it will pull along with it the placenta up into the upper segment. This happens normally. It is a big blunder to advise a cesarean section for placental location based on scan in 20 weeks. Only placenta in patients with scar on uterus ( like Previous cesarean scar or removal of fibroids or any other scars will not allow the placenta to go up.
Am sure next scan at around 30-32 weeks will show the placenta in upper segment. You can then have a normal vaginal delivery
Drink whatever juice you want, it will not affect the baby or placenta.
Hope I have clarified your query, do write back if any more queries
All the best
