Possible Placenta Previa

I’m just wondering if there’s any other Mama’s in the same position as me or who have been, I’m due my baby girl on 28th October so currently 31+6 and just trying to be as prepared as I can be. My placenta has been low lying or completely covering since 20 weeks and we’ve had 2 additional private scans to keep checking, but at 29+6 there was still no movement. I’m going for a further scan on Tuesday and I’m aware that if it’s still covering or low, they’ll most likely plan for an elective c-section - I’m just wondering what other Mama’s experiences of placenta previa have been and when their babies came/how early they had their sections? Sorry for all the info, it’s a long one! 🫶🏼

Mine was completely covering my cervix at 20 weeks but at 32 weeks it had moved so yours may still move!

I’m 32 weeks + 4 days and I just had a follow up scan for this reason and my placenta had moved completely out of the way since our last scan which was at 22 weeks.

i had my 32 week scan and its still low lying so they have rebooked me in for another scan at 36 weeks x

@Lauren how do you feel about that? This is what I’m more anxious/worried about I think, not actually being able to birth plan or get any answers and just continue waiting 🥺

@Phoebe i feel like ive been coming to terms with a c-section from the 20 week mark when they said it was low lying. i do really hate the unknown of the fact i could have him at 37 weeks or naturally at 42 weeks but ive put a birth plan in place incase i can have a natural birth and then preparing as if he was coming at 37 just incase

@Lauren it sounds like you’re ready and you’re taking the best approach, thank you for sharing 🥹

i cant really find the answer of how likely it is that it moves from 32 to 36 weeks but i actually think id struggle more with the news it has moved as ive been preparing myself for so many weeks that he could be coming early via c-section

@Lauren im the same, had my 32 week scan and still hasn’t moved so they booked another one at 36 weeks and also an appointment with a consultant at 34 weeks. But the same as you I’ve been preparing for a c section from when we found out at 20 weeks. As long as baby gets here safely that’s all that matters x

I’m also the same, completely covering at 20 weeks and they thought it had moved at 32 weeks but then did a vaginal ultrasound and it hasn’t moved at all! I definitely just came to terms with a c section straight away but didn’t realise until last week that they would want to deliver at 37 weeks. Likewise I think it would be strange to be told at 36 weeks that it hasn’t moved and then would have to wait until 39/40!
