Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pregnancy is in the early stages and hence the position of the placenta is going to move upward as the pregnancy progresses. A diagnosis of the placental position is not established until after 20 weeks.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the current situation. Just follow your doctor's instructions and follow up with sonogram.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

Regards,
Shanti V.
