Hello
Thanks for your query.
Your placenta is low lying.
You would have risks of spotting, bleeding, preterm labour etc.
In majority of cases, a low lying placenta migrates upwards by term.
You should avoid pressure on the cervix at any cost.
Avoid constipation, straining at stools, chronic cough etc.
Please consult your gynecologist to see if the spotting did any damage to the fetus.
Take care.
