Low Lying Placenta - Page 5

It's very reassuring to read that most of your LLP's are moving up before the need for a c-section

Had more spotting last night/today, but midwife (not my usual one) was quite uninterested when I called this morning. Just told me to keep an eye on things and if it gets worse to call again and they'll tell me if I need to go to my local hospital or the neighbouring one (which is where I had my son)... Fingers crossed it's all OK now though.

Right now I'm bleeding BRIGHT red with clots (some as big as full sized in-shell walnuts) and have had 2 gorgeous ultrasound and 2 healthy pelvic exams showing a very tight and long cervix. Right now we have THREE options: 1.) Low lying placenta which we'll not see until much later on in the pregnancy, 2.) Menstrual Molimena which is all the symptoms of a miscarriage minus the actual miscarriage, 2.) I'm one of the strange cookies that has periods during pregnancy. Tomorrow's another ultrasound so here we go!

I see you're only 9 weeks. Fingers crossed they should be able to notice the position of the placenta in the next few weeks - My LLP was diagnosed at my 12 week scan.

Hope all goes well for you and that baby continues to do well.

Big hugs xx

Just to let you all know that we were told yesterday at our anomaly scan that the placenta has now moved and is no longer classed as low-lying

That's great!

I have a low-lying posterior placenta too, according to my 18 week scan. The doctor hasn't scheduled the next ultrasound next, now that the anomalies scan is over. How many weeks along were you when they diagnosed you with a low lying placenta? Also, after an anomalies scan, what is the next scan that they do?

kimmyjane84 · Dec 17th, 2009, 16:03 PM

It was at my 12 week scan that I was told I had a LLP, then at 20 weeks we got the all-clear... If it had still been low-lying then we'd of had another scan at 34 weeks and then pretty much weekly after that. Hope yours moves up out of the way for you

I went for my anomaly scan on Wednesday and was told I have a low lying placenta, so have to go back at 34 weeks for another scan. Hopefully it's moved up by then!!

Are you in England? Normally there is no other scan after your anomaly unless there are any other concerns but for a LLP you should have another scan around 34-36 weeks to see if it has moved. Depending on how early you have that and if its stil low-lying you may have another scan. I didn't have a scan until 32 weeks then I had scans at 36 and 38 weeks (the last one only because I transferred to a new hospital). In a way it was a trreat because I got to see my LO on the screen several times and she was easily identifiable! Made up for missing out on my 12 and 20 week ones. Hope your placenta moves up too.

Great news! FX everything goes smoothly for you now.

Just wanted to let you know that after being told I had a low lying placenta at my anomaly scan - I had my scan on Tuesday (at 33weeks+6) and my placenta is now high enough to avoid a c/section.
