At 4 months pregnant, the placenta is covering the cervix. Is it dangerous? What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the lower margin of the placenta should be greater than 7 cm from the internal cervical os. Values below this number carry risks of miscarriage, preterm labor, and severe bleeding. At this stage, there are no effective treatment methods; the main approach is to ensure adequate rest, avoid prolonged standing, abstain from sexual activity, undergo regular prenatal examinations, and seek immediate obstetric care if any abnormalities are observed.
