hi guys i was told at my 18 week scan i had placenta preavia, i have experienced bleeding from 26 weeks on due to the uterus stretching and the placenta moving. i had another scan at 27 weeks to make sure everything is ok and the placenta has moved by 5 cms. So it is possible for it to move. very excited am no longer considered to have placenta preavia.

To saurabh - placenta posterior is when the placenta is on the back of the uterus and anterior is on the front.

Hi, I was told my placenta is low. Is it safe for my normal delivery? will it move upward within rest of time?

a low lying placenta is not normal it usually sits at the top of the womb but a scan at 32-36 weeks will confirm what will happen next it has to be above 2cm of os if it is clear of os then a normal delivery may be possible but cannot be confirmed til ur 32-36 week scan
it is possible for the placenta to move in the late stages of pregnancy
if a normal delivery cannot be carried out then a c setion will be neccessary
i am pregnant with my second child and have just got back from my scan where they informed me i had a low lying placenta but am not going to worry too much until i speak to my midwife at my appointment toomorrow
if anyone has any worries do not think twice about ringing your midwife but possibly expect a little extra ante natal care

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.
