POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. At 31 weeks pregnant, having a low-lying placenta (2.5 cm from the internal os) means your placenta is positioned lower in the uterus, but not completely covering the cervix. In many cases, as the pregnancy progresses, the placenta may move further away from the cervix as the uterus expands, which could improve the chances of having a normal vaginal delivery.
However, whether or not you can have a normal delivery will depend on the final position of the placenta closer to your due date. If the placenta remains too close to or covers the cervix (a condition called placenta previa), it may pose risks during labor, and your doctor might recommend a C-section for a safer delivery.
It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for additional ultrasounds to monitor the placenta's position. They will guide you on the safest delivery option based on how things progress in the coming weeks.
