Thanks for the info Coral. Did you have any bleeding before your daughter was born? I know that is one of the "signs" of praevia and I haven't had any bleeding yet.

Kelly/Tanya - I had a scan at 32 weeks and my placenta is 3cm away from internal os. For this scan I went to a specialist women's imaging where an obstetrician (not my own) and a sonographer performed a normal ultrasound and a transvaginal one. They said 3cm is very borderline and suggested I would need a c/s. But they also suggested I could have another scan at 37 weeks to check again. Tanya, did your placenta move away any more than 3cm after 32 weeks? And if not, did you experience a lot of bleeding/risks in labour?

After seeing my ob on Monday, she prefers the placenta to be 5cm away and is happy to send for more scans but believes a planned c/s is best due to the risks of haemorrhaging/cord prolapse etc. I do trust my ob and I know how pro-vaginal birth she is and wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't necessary but I just want to make sure I am making the right decision.
