Complete placenta previa and marginal cord insertion

Bri • 🌈 💙 10/2019 🌈💗 12/2022

I'm kinda freaking out even though my OBGYN told me not to stress yet... but we found out at our anatomy scan that I have complete placenta previa (it literally stretches completely around front to back, not just slightly covering it) and then on top of it I have marginal cord insertion as well. Baby is currently measuring on track but have to have frequent growth scans to make sure baby stays on track.

I'm really worried about most likely having to deliver baby early (right now they are saying probably 36-37 weeks with a c-section). Anyone else dealt or currently dealing with anything similar? They want to make sure I don't go into spontaneous labor (my first baby came at 38 weeks).

UPDATE: It occurred to me that I should come and let everyone know how my situation turned out. My placenta previa never moved, it stayed completely covering my cervix so I needed a c-section. In the third trimester I had no bleeding which was great since it is a common complication. My c-section was at 37 weeks and baby ended up weighing 6 lb 3 oz, so the marginal cord insertion wasn't an issue with growth. My only complication with the placenta previa was that during my c-section I did start to hemorrhage and needed a blood transfusion due to loss of blood, however, it was easily handled because they were prepared knowing my situation in advance.
