Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The low lying placenta reaching the os is suggestive of the position of the placenta and can cause minor bleeding episodes with heavy work. You need to rest and go for a follow up scan for placental localization after 4 weeks.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
