What Does It Mean By Placenta Is Anterior And Reaching Up To OS Grade I Maturity?
Hello Sir, I am 13 weeks pregnant and my ultra sound report shows that my placenta is anterior, lower edge is reaching upto OS grade I maturity. Can u please tell me what it exactly means. And what type of precautions i need to take so that placenta moves up with further pregnancy stages. Also let me know if we can have intercourse?

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
