Low Lying Placenta - Page 11

Noah'sMummy · Mar 5th, 2010, 07:50 AM

I had another scan yesterday and it still needs to move another 1cm which will then be 3cm away from the O/S which I understand is okay. Have to go back at 36 weeks for another scan and if it still looks the same have to have a TVS then see a consultant if still low.

Just wondering what the chances are of it moving that 1 more cm between now and due date??

If its been moving then that's very good. If it hasn't moved by 36 week scan that's when my Dr. Said they will do a c-section. Right now mine is a complete. I have my next scan on the 17th and my Dr said they will do a couple of scans until 35 - 36 weeks and then plan c- section if its still in the way. I have had 3 vaginal births and this is my last baby, I really don't want surgery. I hope that yours continues to move. You still have 2 weeks, did they say if the babies head was down past it.

I see you are going to call your little boy Noah - good choice of name!!
They didn't mention that no, guess I will just have to wait until the 19th to see if it's moved!! I really hope it does!

Thanks we love the name Noah. All 4 pregnancies we had Noah as our boy name. We had 3 girls so we never got a chance to use it until now. Do you know what you are having?

Just thought you might like to know that, after having been diagnosed with a low-lying placenta (it reached but didn't cover the OS), my placenta is now located in the fundus!!!

I saw it on the last scan!

Plus baby's head is now engaged

So they can move quite far!!

Good luck everyone xxx

I'm confused. At my 20 week scan, I was told I had to go back at 34 weeks to see if it had moved however when I got my hospital appointment through it wont be till I am 36 weeks, is this right or does it not make much difference either way?

I would say that 34-36 weeks should be ok. It still leaves a 4 week space. As long as you aren't having any problems or bleeding. Good luck. Have a great day.

Hi 3pinkwantblue,
I had midwife appt yesterday and she doesn't seem to think it will move by next week and that a c-section is on the cards, not really what I want, but I'm not going to start worrying or anything until scan next week tells me more.
We are having another boy and really struggling for names this time round. I bet your so pleased to be having a boy at last.

I am sorry to hear that. I still have about 11 weeks until my doctor will make the c-section decision. I have my next ultrasound wed. So I am hoping it will be moving. My last ultrasound showed it completely covering the cervix. Fingers crossed.
We are very excited about having a boy. No my dh will have someone on his side. Will they do another ultrasound for you.
