I've been told during my level 2 scan that I have a low lying placenta, specifically 1.3 cm from the OS. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to fly. If it is safe, how far into my pregnancy can I travel by air? If flying isn't recommended, what precautions should I take?

I had a medical abortion on August 17th and then on September 18th, I noticed some spotting and a brown discharge, kind of like the start of a period. It was really light and just lasted for a day. After that, it completely stopped, and now there's no bleeding or spotting at all. Should I be concerned or is this normal? Please advise.
