Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to the reports you have low lying placenta in posterior region with grade I maturity.
In majority of the cases,it migrate away from the internal os with advancement of pregnancy.There is nothing to worry.
You should have follow up scan to detect the progress.
You should avoid strenuous activity and take adequate rest.
Your doctor has rightly given you progesterone injection.It is given to support pregnancy
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
