Placenta Previa

PJ
Hello Ladies!!! I have found out that I have complete placenta previa. And I have to do a C section when time comes. Anyone else have this? It's very rare but I wanted to ask

I had a friend who did. She ended up in bed rest for quite a while bc she kept bleeding and then she had to deliver 2 weeks early. At my 20 week scan they were concerned mine was too low, but did another look and said it'll most likely move up as the baby grows. Good luck. Just stay calm and if you have concerns, go to the ER.

I have it as well but my doctor said mine will most likely grow to the side as it and the baby grows! And they will reevaluate later on in pregnancy :)

I'm not a dr but if you are only 21 weeks you still have time for your placenta to move. I have been on pelvic rest for 5 weeks and hoping my placenta will move as well. Just try and think if the worse news you get is that you need a c section still consider yourself blessed. I just want a healthy baby!

I have it as well. My OB feels very confident that it will move on its own. I have no restrictions but if I start having bleeding I will have to be on pelvic rest. We are going to do another ultrasound at 32 weeks and check it then! Try not to stress too much. I did but felt significantly better after speaking with my OB.

Same here pelvic rest. And will keep an eye on it. And yea they say if does not move will have to do C section as well before scheduled due date

I'd had it with my first. It moved by time I got to 30 weeks. Sorry yours didn't. Just try to relax and listen to what your doctor tells you about your restrictions. That is very important. Good luck on delivery day.

They thought the same with mine. You should be checked again around 28-30 weeks. Hopefully after baby grows, they see it had implanted higher than originally thought. There's still hope. Hold on to that.

Thank you for encouraging words. This is my first pregnancy and got worried. They seem pretty sure it won't move but im only 21 weeks. So we shall see!!
