    Anterior Low Lying Placenta????

    Hi,

    Just found our from my ob that I have a low lying placenta. I have read a little of other people's posts here and feel better but can I also ask if anyone has had an Anterior Low Lying Placenta - reason being my ob told me that it complicates things a little as if it doesn't move up by the time I go into labour, I am also unable to have a C-Section because the placenta is right where they would cut to access bub and they can't cut through the placenta obviously.

    So does anyone know what happens in these rare cases??

    I know I shouldn't worry myself at this early stage.....but it is difficult to not!!

    I had a low lying placenta with ds at 20 weeks, and then at the 34 week scan it had moved. It usually does move, and even if it doesn't there are different grades of placenta praevia, not all of them mean you have to have a c/s. If it doesn't move definately get a 2nd opinion if c/s is recommended, that isn't always the only option.
