[sar35]

[rach560]

hi rach, is yours covering the os or just low?

Rach I wouldnt worry about it too much at this stage hun, your 33 weeks, you are in the clear for a nice healthy birth with little to no problems! Sure it may have to be a C-Section and in a hurry, but bubs is old enough to be A-okay and the docs are aware of your situation and will be watching now. The real worry is when bubs is too young, or will be very premie, you've gotten to 33 weeks without a hiccup, fantastic job, and you may just go through without a bleed at all, it doesnt have to happen, but know if it does there is no real drama at this stage!

Ladies I got the best news today!! Gunner has turned and now is head down...they did a internal scan and my placenta has moved. Its low laying still but over to the left so its went completely over my cervix and on out of the way! I am so happy with this. Gunner's head is now on my cerix and looks like he may stay that way!! I so hope so.

Fantastic news RG!!

I have my 20w scan on Fri so hopefully I'll get good news too!!

I feel better knowing I am not alone. I was just told at 30 weeks I have placenta previa and I am freaking out after reading about it. So scary.

Hey GG Just read in the other post where it is low lying but your dr is insisting you have a csestion?? Y? My dr was very optimistic...maybe a little too but all in all he was right so far. He said there is plenty of time to move even with me being 33 weeks and it covering it was right. I say don't risk the baby of course for anymeans but don't let him push you into a csection if that is not what you want and can have the baby natural without causing him harm. THese ladies on here are great and they can help keep you positive I know they did me.

reeds I sure hope I get that news! that is fantastic!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I really think mine moving had a lot to do with him turning head down...my whole bump has changed and dropped. I was doing exercises to turn him. But I am ready and praying all stays well. I so hope all you ladies get good news as well...I will be watching for updates.

 

[sar35]

I think the majority of girls on this thread have had theirs move, its only the odd one or two that didnt and we lived to tell the tale as it were

 

[WannaB]

I agree with Sar, its more common than not that the placentas move in time, its just a small percentage that are stubborn! Good news RG!!!

a quick ? any of you girls whose placenta moved did you notice a difference as in did you feel less pressure down below or stop needing to wee as much, im thinking mine has moved but i think bubs is sitting higher these days so that could be it. what do you think???

 

[mothercabbage]

interesting thread,ive had on/off bleeds and spotting from around 11 weeks, they found my placenta was low,reaching the os at an emergency scan at 11+6 weeks..im sure mine will move i know 95% do, but im nervous it wont...next scan on april 4th...xxxx

I actually feel more pressure now that everything has moved...but prior to this my lo was also breech and now he is head down and pressing on my cervix...and I am weeing more so I think its all about the position of baby as well but I could be wrong.
