Distance from cervix is 3 cm so it's not placenta previa.
Continue your routine medicine as advised.

If the distance from the cervix is 3 cm It is not a low lying placenta!
And since it is not low lying you do not require any precautions

As the pregnancy progress the placenta ascends up so it should not be a major issue
But it also depends on other factors like
Previous cesarean section
Prior uterine surgery (D&C, myomectomy)
Advanced maternal age (>35 years)
Multiple pregnancy
Previous placenta previa
IVF pregnancy
