What Does Low Lying Placenta In An Ultrasound During Pregnancy Indicate?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and at my 18 week ultrasound I was told I had a low lying placenta and have not had my follow up ultrasound yet but am also on high risk and was for my first two pregnancies also. Will it be safe for me to fly back home to Oklahoma from California?

Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
At gestational age of 18 theres no such demarcation between upper and lower uterine segment so placenta will alwaysbe low lying which will migrate upwards with time . About travelling I will suggest you to avoid journey but if at all you want to travel.Prefer a route which will give you minimum shocks.Air travel will be best for you at this gestational age. I hope it solved all your querries.Thank you.
