Low placenta - Medical opinion needed

Yvonne

Hi everyone!

Wondering if there is a mid-wife or OB here that can help answer my question... My next OB appointment isn’t till Jan 9, and I’m angsty to know!

At my 20week scan, I was told my placenta is

Today at my 33-34week scan, I was told the placenta is now 2.4cm from cervix. My OB has told me she would prefer at least 2.5cm.

My questions are:

- Is it likely to move anymore?

- Medically, is there anything preventing me from natural birth if it stays at 2.4cm?

At the scan today, I also found out bubba’s head is very low down, not in birth canal yet but very low. The lady that did my scan had trouble doing measurements or checking the facial profile coz bubba is so low! Bubba hasn’t moved from head down position in the last 2 appointments now!

Thanks everyone!!
