I had it with my last pregnancy, and unfortunately it didnt fix itself, but it tried! Ended up only having a few big veins (or whatever) of placenta just about reaching the cervix, so enough to be a pain and need a c-section.
My doctor was very vague about it too, he wasnt worried until i was 33 weeks and told him i lived 4 hours away from the hospital and that i was coming to perth to stay from 36 weeks onwards. He then told me i was at high risk of hemoraging so i needed to keep my butt in perth.
I'm anxiously waiting my 20 week ultrasound this time around! I'm praying its not low, i havent had any spotting so i'm hoping its a good sign. I'm hoping i can have a VBAC.
Can someone on this thread please explain for me what increased monitoring means if someone has been diagnosed as placenta prevaria at her 19 week scan. One of my GFs has just been advised that she has placenta prevaria (@ 19 weeks) it is apparently currently over her cervix and she is freaking out a bit. I had low lying placenta with my DS but wasn't over cervix like hers but mine moved upwards so I know they can move. From memory I had to have an extra scan which i assume she will to. What happens if it hasn't moved at that stage. Will it mean bed rest or just watching or what happens from here. Her OB has said unless something changes dramatically that she will have to have a CS (which she is okay with if that is what is required).
I was found to have a low lying placenta at my 20wk scan, & had another scan at 34 wks at which point it had moved up out of the way, so on track for a natural birth (FX). Try not to worry too much till your next scan...
