Low lying placenta

[Sheba]

Hi

Aparently i have this and am due to have a scan to see if my placenta has moved at 32 weeks. Anyone else had this?? Did your placenta move?? I am terrified of not having a natural birth (had a really good one last time).....

I didn't but my friend did, and hers moved fine by 32 weeks. She went on to labour at home to 9cm and deliver without any drugs at her local hospital (of choice). Apparently most of the time they move out of the way, so please try to relax, things are likely to be just fine.

I had one with DS, discovered at 19 weeks and it had moved well out of the way by the time i was 28 weeks. I was told i still could have tried for a vaginal birth if it was still low(not covering the cervix at all) they would just keep a closer eye on bleeding etc.

Hey Sheba

a good number of women get told they have a low lying placenta that needs review at 32 weeks... if the placenta is laying in the lower half of the uterus at your 20wk scan, they ask for a repeat at 32 weeks to ensure it has moved up...which in most cases it does move up as the uterus grows

Thanks for all your replies, i am sure it will move.... I am trying not to think about it until the scan....
