I am 17 weeks pregnant. When I done my ultrasound, the report was that my placenta posterior is closer to os and cervical length is 4 cm. So doctor suggested me bed rest. I am worried that it may cause major issue in future during delivery. please help me out.

Hi, A low lying placenta requires bed rest. But there's nothing to worry, do a repeat sonography after 1 month, by that time your placenta might have migrated upwards.

It depends on the stage of your pregnancy. A placenta is low-lying if it's positioned near the bottom of the womb (uterus). If your placenta is found to be low-lying in a scan during the first half of your pregnancy, it's usually nothing to worry about. In most cases, the placenta moves up as the pregnancy progresses.
