Hi Kelly

As you know (I've already sent you my story in the past, I think?) I had low-lying placenta and ended up having a c/s at 39 wks.

I was a most unusual case as I had none of the 'risk' factors, previous D&C, age, IVF, previous c/s, etc, etc. My ob told me he hadn't seen one that hadn't moved for him in 8 years. Lucky me, to be the exception! At 19 wks it was about 0.5 cm away from the cervix, so pretty close, and it only managed to move another 2 cms to the end of my pg. This could have been because both me and the baby are only small and my fundal height was measuring cms behind my weeks. The fact that the placenta was posterior also probably contributed, as posterior low-lying placentas don't 'move' as much.

Interestingly, up until my final scan at 37 weeks (I requested as much time as possible to have the best chance of a vaginal delivery and was fully supported by my ob) I was never given the impression that a c/s was a certainty, even when the 32 wk scan wasn't promising.

Now I've had a c/s I can only hope next time around I don't have another low-lying placenta and I get my vbac!
