Hi,
As your placenta is low lying you need to take bed rest and avoid trauma and intercourse. But nothing much to worry as placenta grows upwards in most of the cases. You can confirm it by serial ultrasounds after 1 to 2 months or at 32 weeks. You need to be alert, if any bleeding occurs immediately contact your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khushboo Priya
