Low lying Placenta Thread

[sar35]

mine was fully covered and moved by 36 weeks. have hope girls!

Really! when were you scanned before 36weeks? I was scanned at 34 do you think mine could move?

yep, scanned at 19,21,24,32,34,36,38 and once when I was overdue just to be sure my placenta moved. It moved between my 36 and 38 scans so yeah its possible!

wow thats good to know, but I dont think im gonna get scanned again! Thanks

Hi Sar, James is 4 now so June 2006. They never mentioned about cutting through the placenta but I know it was about 40 minutes by the time they got him out. I'm sure they will scan you again, I would probably request a scan anyway I don't think it's fair to make that decision at 34 weeks. It's great the consultant is willing to not hospitalise you just take it easy and even the slightest hint of blood just call an ambulance, I'm sure it won't happen and even with a bit of blood it could be nothing but still call an ambulance. I'm going to keep stalking you!on here, I'm looking forward to your its moved post!

All I needed to add to my stress of this pregnancy was to slide across the freeway in the crazy snow & hit the median. Well now I can check that off my list!!! Luckily no one was hurt even though all the kids were in the car. I just needed to vent! Ha Ha...it just gets better and better!

Thanks Miss Muffet and Newmommy. I guess from your stories that the thing to do is keep insisting on rescans before agreeing to a c-section. Did either of you have problems with your babies position at birth ?

I had a very long labor, and she kinda didn't move down as fast as normal babies but besides that nope! I had a back to back though so that's prolly why

 

[kheiro]

Do you mind me asking how long active labour was newmommy ?

 

[sar35]

Just to let you know that after a very traumatic birth my baby boy arrived... i will post the link to the birth story but its quite scary so up to you whether you feel you want to read

Can anyone answer a question for me. For those of you that didn't bleed throughout your placenta previa pregnancy, I am wondering how far along you were when you start bleeding. I am 26 1/2 weeks and I am wondering what to expect in the near future. I am starting to feel stressed and I think I read somewhere that most people started bleeding between 28-30 weeks. I am in the hospital for good once I start bleeding. I am such a planner so this is driving me nuts. I would love any stories or advice! Thanks!!!!!

 

[Helly]

Sorry, I never did have a bleed. You may not bleed, hopefully you wont!

Really glad I found this thread - just read it from start to finish!

I was diagnosed with marginal previa at 20 wks (2mm from birth canal) and rescanned at 28 weeks - not much progress cos' by 28 weeks it moved 1 mm and is now at around 3 mm.

They want to rescan at 32 wks to see if it moves to the bare minimum of 20 mm that they require for vaginal birth at this hospital.

I'm just feeling a little hopeless because if it moved just 1 mm in the last 6 weeks, how much could it move in the next 4-6 weeks.

Although a c-section is not my preference, I am more worried about the safety of the baby and my own risk of haemorrhaging.

Well Im certainly not the poster child for happy previa endings! I read Sars happy ending, your boy is gorgeous, well done hun! Just after you msged me I ended up in hospital with a small bleed, then Friday, just gone, it felt like my waters had broken at 32 weeks, turned out it was all blood and I was taken to the hospital via ambulance. The bleeding stopped and now becuase of it I am hospital bound till baby is born by c-section at 37 weeks, if it will stay put! Im bored, but at least we are both safe and in the right place if something goes wrong again.

What exactly do you have? Is it a previa?

 

[WannaB]

Yes I have a grade 4 previa Jenner, just unlucky as 95% of them right themselves before birth.

 

[Noah'sMummy]

I also had this and unfortunately it didn't move which resulted in a c-section at 38 weeks. I had no bleeding whatsoever throughout the entire pregnancy. Anyway I wasn't keen on a c-section but it was absolutely fine and would do it all over again if I had to.

Hey ladies. I have been told this week that I have an anterior low lying placenta. All midwife said was that they would re scan me at 36 weeks and that was pretty much it. Didn't have this is either of my previous pregnancy's. Have noticed that quite a few of you know how much your placenta has to move away by but this was never mentioned to me, should it have been, or should I have asked?? Also I had some unexplained bleeds in 1st Tri where we were told I might miscarry. Does anyone know if the low lying placenta could have caused this or is it only a problem later in pregnancy??

Sorry for all the questions but have never heard of any of this before xxx
