Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I've searched but can't find an exact answer to this question.

Yesterday I was told by my GP that my placenta has hardly risen from my 20 week scan and will more than likely need a caesarean. I find differing opinions on the net regarding how far from the os does the placenta need to be to warrent a planned c-section. My placenta is 3 - 3.5cm from the internal os. I have read that a vb is possible for anything above 2cm in one place and anything above 4-5 in others - most confusing as big differences. Does anybody know the 'standard' or if there is one?

Also, the sonographer has written "there appeared to be a small accessory lobe of placental tissue lying on the anterior uterine wall suggestive of a succenturiate lobe" on his report. Can anybody translate for me?? Wish they'd speak english... he-he (sort of)

My Dr has told me to go to the hospital for further scans and nothing is happening quickly enough to settle my overworked mind.

Can anybody help??
