If you have low lying placenta then you have to take precaution. Do not do hard work. Since you have one previous loss so take bed rest. Nothing to worry for transverse lie as babies keep on changing their position up to birth. Good luck.

If the placenta remains low lying till term you will need to undergo a c section. Else avoid heavy work, no intercourse and things will be fine

Hi Sonakshi, don't worry as baby will grow their is possibility of placenta migrating upwards. Position of the baby keeps on changing due to movements.
