I will tell you my story too, not to scare you but it may just be handy to know. I was told at my 20 scan that mine was low but not covering the cervix. Ob said he would check at 32 weeks and I should still be able to vaginal birth. All was going ok until I had a haemorrhage at 30 weeks. I went into hospital that night and stayed in for observation, bleeding stopped and I was told to finish work and stay home on bed rest. A week later I had another bleed, not as much as the first and it was mainoy old brown looking blood. Another week went by and I can remember clear as day going to the loo late on the Sunday night and seeing the brightest rest blood I have ever seen. I immediately went to the bed to lay down flat which my Ob had instructed me to do. I put a pad on and called the hospital. The blood wasn't gushing so I was ok to get in the car and DH drove me 40mins to the hospital. I arrived and they immediately inserted a canula into my hand and gave me a steroid injection for baby's lungs. Ob arrived about 30 mins later and at first thought it was a caesar then and there but after an internal examination and thhe blood flow stopping he decided birth was not neccessary but I had to stay in hospital. During all 3 bleeds bub was monitored and was doing fine and his movements were as usual too. I managed to bake him for a further 2 weeks in hospital before I had a c/s at 34 weeks and 4 days. He arrived safely, was in a humidicrib for 2 days, BF well from day 1, went home with me on day 6 and is a healthy happy little man. So even when things get really scary it can still work out ok. Don't worry but just be aware and look Fter yourself. Take it easy, trust your body and how you feel. You will probably be fine, the sonographer who did my 20 week scan said in most cases the placenta will rise, I seem to just have alot of bad luck with pregnancy and my situation was not so common. Good luck, such a good feeling whe you get to that half way point.
