Low lying Placenta Thread

[NandO1]

thanks reedsgirl, think im sort of hoping really, coz baby is def higher as the heartburn is testament to that, and it all sort of coincided with that, if its moved its moved if it hasnt it hasnt but its the waiting and wondering game that i cant stand! some babies cant get head down if the placenta is in the way so it makes sense that your little one has gone head down now things are out of the way. good luck to you not much longer to go xx

My bub went from breech to head down, back to breech again all in one day, she was a busy girl! She did this daily, I think its more that the baby would be unable to engage, but if your placenta is still covering the OS you don't want them to do this anyway. I just knew she wriggled alot, never knew how many summer saults she was doing in there till I was in hospital for the long haul!

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!

Newmommy, could you please tell me where your placenta was positioned ? I was told at a 34 week scan a couple of days ago that mine is pretty much hammock shaped front to back although mostly over the L side. I'm guessing that the only thing that will move that is if the side wall of the uterus grows massively over the next couple of weeks and the only way I can see that happening is if I gorge myself and just don't stop eating 24/7.

Id go with reedsgirl as well Nando, mine went just clear of the OS, but not clear enough to labour and it was only when it got that far that i started to feel him low and feeling pressure, until then he was always high.

Reedsgirl, woohoo!!! Made up for you x

Eve - your scan was today, how did it go?

 

[Aaisrie]

Yes Helly!! I'm not even low laying anymore!! It's totally moved!!! Atticus is fine all the measurements were done!! I'm so happy and relaxed... now if only the hyperemesis would go and I could enjoy this pregnancy!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Aarisrie that is great news!! I hope we all get a happy ending and we get to have our babies natural.

I have a feeling my little man has turned breech again...his movements are back to the way they were before and I have a bump up top that rolls around just like before. I will know for sure monday but I am praying its his little hiney. LOL

Thank goodness I found this thread! Me and hubby have visited the maternity ward twice this week because I started spotting on Tuesday/Wednesday and then it got worse and heavier and most constant on Friday.

They checked everything out, my cervix is closed but there was dark red blood. Baby is fine, heart beat is fine - its just me bleeding! Doctor said I might have a low lying placenta but we won't know until I have my 20 week scan (which I have at 21 weeks on the 31st.... the wait is killing me!) All he said was rest until the bleeding stops.... it jsut frustrates me when they advise me not to go into work but won't sign me off work! urgh!

At the moment the bleeding isnt as heavy, it now back to the pink it started at, but still constant.... and when I go to the loo sometimes blobs of blood plop out! (TMI, I'm sorry) - has anyone else had this problem? Sorry if this post has confused people - the placenta probably isnt low lying and its just pressure on the cervix... I really dont know! I just hope it stops soon!

just to say, if you are admitted for any bleeding please make sure you stay there, even if you dont think it necessary!!!
It nice to see so many of them moving out of the way , gives hopes to others

Erica I had bright red bleeding from 14 - 18w and at my 20w scan [which was just under 21w] on fri my placenta had completely moved so have hope!

So I didnt want to say anything until after my apt, but I did have a bit of pink earlier today. I didnt worry overly much as I was on my way to the docs anyhow for a normal check up. But the time I was giving my sample I didnt have any pink. I sked about having a US a bit early as I havent had one since 16 weeks and he said that was fine. So I dont have to wait until 28 weeks!! yay. I get to go in tomorrow at 1045am. So If I have pictures Ill make sure to post them. Ill be asking for more 3d ones cause I LOVE those. we should also see if my placenta has moved or not. Also I found out that it is posterior previa.meaning it is to the back, instead of the front. So that explains why I can feel my little girl all the time Also he said that because ist posterior it has a even better chance of correcting itself. So FXed that tomorrow brings good news. Although with the pink show earlier today, Im not holding my breath lol


This was yesterdays , then today

back from the doctors. My placenta has moved!!! Wont know how much exactly until I hear from the doctors. But looks like I am in line for a normal birth!!! :thumbup : Still might be "Low lying" but wont know for sure , again until I hear from the doctor.
So everything is looking up

Thanks hun! I hope to hear from the doctor tomorrow and he will tell me that everything looks great and gives me the green light to go about like normal

 

[mommyof2peas]

Ok girls heard from the doctor (well nurse) and looks like the previa has cleared up And no more pelvic rest but my placenta is still low lying. so Ill have another US to make sure that it has moved clear. Its not common, but it can slide back and cause issues. But eveything looks good so far

 

[Helly]

Brill news for Eve and Mommy to 2!

Erica if you are still bleeding call your midwife, you shouldn't be left guessing like that!

 

[ericacaca]

Sorry ladies.... it wasnt a llp! Went back in with alot more bleeding... had a scan, I'd lost fluid and miscarried the next morning! Very sad, and a bit annoyed at the doctor for not doing the scan when we were there just to check things over.... maybe he knew what was going on and the best thing for me to do was go home and not stay in hospital for the next 4 days! I really don't know! Thanks for the support... and I really hope and pray your babies are safe and all births are successful ones. xxx
