ITS A BOY!! But - Low lying placenta

[Trish]

Congrats on finding out your having a little boy. I had a LLP when I was preg with Noah. It was only 1cm clear too. I was to have a repeat scan at 32 weeks to see if it had moved, but as Noah was breech the whole way through they didn't bother with the scan until 36 weeks. At this stage it was far enough clear but Noah stayed breech so the c sectioned me any way.

Even if your placenta isn't clear enough at 32 weeks, insist on another scan at around 36 weeks. There is every chance that it could have cleared enough space for bub

Goodluck.

Congrats on a beautiful baby boy! My 18 week scan said my placenta was posterior and more than 20mm clear of internal os. My placenta is now reported as posterior high so it has moved well and truly out of the way. So try not to be too concerned as hopefully this will happen for you too.

thanks everyone.. sounds as though its really common..

i am just worried that it could possibly send me into early labour or something...

I also have had some constant pain for the last couple of days and it feels as though it could be comming from my cervix.. but i can't be sure... do you think this means anything or is it just growing pains?? She didn't say anything yesterday.. so i'm guessing my cervix isn't opening or anything like that..

I have read up on this and there is nothing that says anything about pain.. but if there is bleeding then you should be worried.
