Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Low lying placenta has nothing to do with fetal movements while its development. It carries a risk throughout pregnancy that could start bleeding leading to complications. Hence you need to take extra care.
If you are not appreciating the fetal movements, kindly get an ultrasound scan done to know about what could be the status. It needs to be done at the earliest. It is advisable to take an opinion from Gynecologist with the scan report in this regard to be on the safer side. Please do not ignore.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
Wish you all the best.
