HI, Thanks for the query. I understand your query. LOw lying placenta & journey at 25 weks of pregnancy is a bit risky. THe risk depends on the distance of placental edge from internal Os. Generally it is best avoided.. for fear of physical stress & bleeding, which is difficult to control in later weeks of pregnancy. You should consult your treating doctor ,being well versed with your case, he would be in a better position to advise you exactly. thanks...
