Hi ladies,

I had my 2nd tri scan this week (week 20) all is good with the baby's development which is a relief.

I was however told that my placenta was lying low at about 1.8 cms and to be safe they need to be about 2 cms from the cervix. This increases my risk for getting placenta praevia so they will give me another ultrasound at 32 weeks. They did tell me that most placentas move up with time.

My placenta is also anterior.

I googled of course (I couldn't help it) and came up with some worrying birth complications if I end up with placenta praevia including high blood loss.

Has anyone been told during the 2nd tri that they have a low lying placenta and what was the outcome? Did you have placenta praevia and how did you go with the birth?
