Hello
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns.Anterior placenta is a normal variant and also grade 1 maturity at this stage is good.

But as your placenta is encroaching the internal os,better to avoid sexual intercourse at this time.

You cant do anything for placenta to move up.It has to move by itself as pregnancy advances.

Hope i have answered your query.
Thank you
