Asking For Self, Female 33, faisalabd
5 month of pregnency. placenta previa, posterior lower ut seg and edge covering int os. can i travel in this condition. no pain, bleeding and other complication yet.
try avoiding if u can
knowing the condition of our pandemic situation
but if it is v necessary then take little extra precautions
assalam o alaikum
at this gestational age placenta is low lying but this is also covering internal os but with advancing gestation it will migrate.
on safe side avoid travelling if it's not very important

with advancing gestation placenta will migrate.

Better to avoid
You should avoid to travel as much as possible...as it can be aggravating factor for bleeding or other complications associated with placenta previa...
its better to be on complete bed rest. avoid work,travel and sexual relation.
Dear if it is so urgent to travel then u can..use face mask..seat on front row..avoid crowd...drink plenty of water sip by sip during travel... Take progesteron pessary day before travel.. U can request driver for vigilant regarding bumps..
All the best
