Lowlying placenta is very common during second trimester
Most of the cases, the position of placenta will change as pregnancy progresses
I would suggest to avoid strenuous activity, continue your iron and calcium medications

You don't need to leave your job with a low lying placenta
Are you need to avoid is a pelvic jerk
Generally a low lying placenta migrates up as the pregnancy progresses
