HI,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your query.
LOw lying placenta & journey at 25 weks of pregnancy is a bit risky. THe risk depends on the distance of placental edge from internal Os. Generally it is best avoided.. for fear of physical stress & bleeding, which is difficult to control in later weeks of pregnancy.
You should consult your treating doctor ,being well versed with your case, he would be in a better position to advise you exactly.
thanks...
