Hi I'm pregnant with my 4th baby and have just had my 22 week scan, nothing was said at the time but when I saw my midwife a week later she mentioned about my notes saying that I had a low lying placenta which is clear of os. I have not been offered another scan which I thought would be necessary, Has anyone else had this and if its clear does that mean it will stay clear and I will be able to have a vaginal delivery. any comments would be appreciated xx

Hi, my wife just had her 20 week scan and were told that she had a low lying placenta. We were told that this is normal. (Is this true?) We have been given another scan date in week 34 to see if the placenta has moved. I don't want my wife to worry and try to tell here that it will be ok. I would be grateful if anyone could email me or post their comments from there experience,

Hi, I've just had my 32 week scan to see if the placenta had moved on its own which it has. Apparently it is common and will usually move as the uterus expands, I think thats why they scan so late (but I'm not an expert!) Unless you have any bleeding or pains, try not to worry (easier said than done!). I just tried to think of it as an inconvience as I wanted to sort my birth plan out. And to be honest the scan and the photos I have are amazing,I have a gorgeous scan picture of his/her face and it was well worth the worrying.
