The placenta tends to migrate as the uterus grows and at the 20week scan it would be much away from the lower segment in most cases. For now have PELVIC rest. Hope you are on progesterone supplements . Your cervical length is normal at 2.8cm . Follow up is required to rule out shortening of the cervix which might require intervention.

Hi, the placenta is likely to move up in next coming few weeks. Don't worry. Avoid heavy work.

Don't worry and rest, progesterone support and anomaly scan at 19weeks.. See for length of cervix and placenta... If length less than 2.5cm..you might require circlage or cervical stitch.... Best decision will be take after internal examination and sonography at 18week.. Till then have a rest
