Low Lying Placenta - Page 12

How did your scan go on Wednesday?

I've got mine tomorrow and have everything crossed and praying it's moved that 1 more cm.

My scan shows that its no longer completely covering the cervix. It's now a marginal previa. The lady said that it has to move about 2.5 cm for them to rule out c section. But it is moving. I go back in 4-6 weeks for another scan. I will keep you in my prayers, I hope it moves. You don't have much time left. What week did they find your previa?

Hi,
Sounds promising for you!
One hour to go till scan and getting quite nervous but will also be relieved either way after as I'll know what will be happening.
Mine was picked up at 23 week scan but unfortunately they didn't say whether it was completely covering or partially covering etc. Also because my placenta is posterior I've been told it doesn't move as much as it would if it were anterior.
Anyway I will be back on to update you this afternoon.

Unfortunately mine didn't move, the scan showed the placenta all beneath the baby's head....so it's a c-section at 38 weeks for me....am relieved now I know what's going to happen!!! Just waiting for a phone call from the consultant now for an exact day.
I suppose there are a few positives like not having to wait around to go into labour and having baby a few weeks earlier than expected!!

I'm sorry, but just think in 11 days you will be holding your little one. And on the plus side no labor pains or hours of pushing. At least now you don't have to wait for more answers or more scans. Good luck.

My consultant noted a low lying anterior placenta at my appointment last week. (was 16+2 then). In my case, it has benefits as my waters around twin 1 broke at 14+5 and that means I am at risk of a prolapsed cord, but the low placenta may prevent that.

Because of the ruptured membranes I am likely to go into labour very prematurely and will be lucky if I make it to 24 weeks, so I am assuming I'll need a c section, but to be honest, if they can et my babies out OK, then I really don't mind.

Oh my, I hope everything works out for you and your babies.

I had my follow up scan and it's still posterior low which is a bummer. Its not completely covering my cervix, its 2.5cm away which is pretty good considering it was 2mm away last time.

So am going to be scanned again in 3 weeks time, when im 37 weeks.

That will be the last chance for it to move, fingers crossed!

MW told me today that posterior low is harder to move than when its at the front but it has moved since my last scan so I'm hoping it moves that little bit more!!

i have my next scan may 12th. my last scan showed it 1.7cm away so almost there. but now i just found out i have gestational diabetes. so i will continue to have scans because of his sizes.
