Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Low lying placenta covering the internal OS is definitely a high risk condition. Any minimal strain can lead to sudden painless bleeding. So, better to avoid journey as per as possible. And also you have to be careful while in home also. Try to avoid stressful work, intercourse etc, be in rest. Let your family members aware of your condition, so that they will be prepared if need arises. Follow with regular antenatal check ups and ultrasound examinations to observe if migration of placenta occurs. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
