Has you OB offered you further scans (after 30 weeks) just to be sure your placenta hasn't moved or is he 100% sure that it's praevia?

I have a low lying placenta (found out after my 20 week scan) and my OB has explained what could happen and said I may get some bleeding around 28 weeks or so. He told me to continue living as normal but to phone him immediately if I have any bleeding at all and I'm not allowed to travel any further than 2 hours from the metro area - that includes flying and driving.

I'm having another scan at 32 weeks to check if it's moved at all. My OB will continue to monitor it with more scans until 37ish weeks (unless they confirm earlier that it defintiely isn't moving). If it doesn't move enough, I will be having a c-section. My OB didn't say anything about having a general though so I'd definitely be questioning that. I can't understand why they would book you in for a general, I would have thought an epidural would be fine - just like any other elective caesar.

Good luck. I hope your OB gives you a little more info as it sounds like he was rather blas? to be honest.
