I think it depends on how low your placenta is. It would be helpful to get clearance from your gynae. Mine was low based on the ultrasound scan but my gynae wasn't too concerned and he cleared me for exercise. He just said not to do high impact activities (i.e. Jumping). My placenta eventually moved upwards in late pregnancy.

I would avoid it. Also avoid other strenuous activities and sexual intercourse. Go to the hospital immediately if you start bleeding

me too.my gynea said it is normal for 21weeks. The placenta will be moved up when the time come..let's think positive..everything will be fine.

I was having low placenta during my pregnancy and was told to bed rest . It all went well after a week and my gynae approve me to exercise .

Hi, don’t mind ask you, I have same issue with you. I’m 21 weeks 4days now but dr say my placenta is low lying. Is it harmful?

I have slightly low placenta during detailed scan at week 20. need to wait till week 28 to confirm everything.
