My 18 week ultrasound said my placenta was close to cervix. I am 28 weeks pregnant now and my ultrasound at 25 weeks said my placenta was 2 cm from the cervix. My family doctor said no issues but obgyn said no sex. I have been having sex throughout and had no issues. Is it safe to have sex?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Better not have intercourse as advised by your gynecologist because you are having low lying placenta. As intercourse can lead to sudden painless bleeding when the Placenta is low lying and this type of bleeding will be difficult to control and that may lead to preterm labor. So, better to be careful and follow your gynecologist advice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
