    Low Lying Placenta - Moved UP!! Can I have sex now??

    Hi there All

    Just a quick one (and a little embarassing) I have been given the all clear for Placenta Previa - the placenta has moved 3.8cm away from the cervix - WOOHOO!!!

    So I'm wondering can I resume sex again - I'm starting to climb the walls (it's only been 25 long weeks ) - I was advised to abstain to see if the placenta moves up and now seeing though it's moved I'm curious to know whether I need to be so cautious....

    Also anyone know if 3.8cm away from the OS is far enough??

    TIA

    PS - Mods i posted this in the medical conditions section but didn't get much of a response, hope its ok to post here also....

    Hi there Dianna
    I'm really not sure, can you check with your ob or midwife?
    I personally wouldn't until i had the all clear from a medical professional.
    Hope that helps
