You're having low lying placenta ,you should avoid prolonged standing ,do not lift heavy objects ,do not over strain yourself ,avoid travelling ,maintain abstinence. Drink lots of water and take high fibre diet to avoid constipation. Get an ultrasound done at 34 weeks of pregnancy ,if placenta migrates upwards then fine ,if placenta is low lying Then you may require caeserian section.
