Travelling while low placenta
My 20th week anomaly scan said: 'Anterior,mid and lower uterine segment reaching upto Os,grade "I maturity".
Currently 26th week and I want to travel to my home place by train(shatabdi , 8 hrs), currently on pro 9 injections, every 15 days. My next scan is 30th week but need to travel now. Have not experienced any pain OR bleeding and taking rest most of the time from past 6 weeks and will be doing so for another 1 month as doctor advised to avoid any exertion and take rest. Can you please advise me if there would be any risk for travelling by train? As its mostly night journey, I will be sleeping most of the time.
Had no other complications. Also, does first line means that placenta is very low?
Please help me with sound advice.

Risk is always there
Better get a scan done before travel to ensure ur placenta has migrated up

Ask for a repeat trans vaginal scan
Look for placental position and cervical length.
If still low lying travelling is risky.
If travelling is compulsory, u can plan the travel within 2days of ur proluton injection .
However, the risk of bleeding is high with low lying placenta
