Low Lying Placenta - Page 2

I have one that was picked up at my 20 week scan and I have another scan at 34 weeks to see if it has moved. I'm hoping it will have moved on its own but doing my best not to worry about it until I know either way!

Same for me. Neither the sonographer or midwife seem particularly bothered so I figure it's not something to worry about.

I had a huge bleed at 19 weeks where i was told it could be the start of a late miscarriage, however at my 20 week scan , it was obvious i had a low lying placenta.

then at 29 weeks i bled again, and at 33 weeks, i was rescanned and told at 29 weeks that the placenta had moved up?!?..

then at 35 weeks (2 weeks ago) i started bleeding, and it wouldnt stop, it was like water running down my legs, got to hospital via blue light and passed clots, with that i was whisked to theatre and had an emergency section there and then..

turns out my anterior low placenta was actually, full covering placenta previa!! and the bleeding was the placenta trying to pass through thr cervix as i had been 1cm dilated!

be persistant and ask for a second opinon if your in any doubt!

Thanks everyone for your posts.

I've got to make see the midwife in 3-4 weeks and also have my consultant appointment next Friday, so I'll be asking loads of questions and making sure that if it's still showing as a problem on my next scan or I have another bleed that they give me the extra checks I need.

Feeling a little better thanks to reading this - THANK YOU xx

I had a big bleed about two weeks ago and scan next day showed I have an anterior low lying placenta. Hopefully it will move so no more bleeding but if not then I am most likely to have c section due to prev problems either way. Just so you know, if its anterior too then it can mean they cant hear babies heartbeat with doppler (as is in my case) as placenta blocks the sound

Mine is posterior (just checked my notes) so fingers crossed we will still hear the heartbeat

Thanks for the heads-up tho
