Hi All

I had my checkup with the OB today and we went over the results from my 20 week scan. Tarko is fit, healthy and growing so all good there. I, on the otherhand, have a low lying placenta. Thanks to Belly Belly, I knew a lot about them already and wasn't concernced at all when he raised it with us. I actually said 'oh that's ok, they're very common at this stage, aren't they?' and he said 'Yes, they are but your placenta is much lower than a standard low placenta'. Bugger. He's told me there is a good chance I may spot around the 28 week mark and I'm not to travel any further than 2 hours from the metro area. Golly! We are grateful we didn't book a Babymoon after all!!

I did wonder what all the fuss was about (given I'm such an expert on these things thanks to BB - LOL!) but it turns out mine is less than 2.5cms from my cervix so yeah, it's pretty close. He did say there is still a good chance it will rise and I'm having another scan at 32 weeks to check on it. He did prepare us for the fact that I may need a CS though. That would be a shame but I'm ok with it especially given I've had so much warning and there may be no option. Poor Tarko is trapped at the moment and unless my placenta moves, there will be no light at the end of the tunnel to guide the way!

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has experienced a super low lying placenta (so less than 2.5cm) and went on to deliver vaginally.

Ta!
