HELLO DEAR
I understand your concern , dear low lying placenta at 21weeks of gestation has no significance in majority of cases around 90 to 95% cases placenta migrate upwards till term because of formation of lower uterine segment so no need to worry at this stage, If in case it does not migrate then only one thing you should have to do you should plan your delivery in tertiary hospital where blood transfusion facilities are present and you should your iron supplements so before delivery your haemoglobin status is good. ALL the best
THANKS
