Anyone’s low lying placenta moved the wrong way?

Thank you for sharing! I had been told it will most likely move away but good to know it can move closer! Thank you
Yes my placenta is completely covering my cervix, so I have to have a c section delivery. I’ve had a couple of bleeds with this but I can honestly say the doctors and midwifes have been amazing with it. I’m currently 33 weeks and have a c section booked for 37 weeks
Thank you Katie, I had a scan today and my placenta is now covering my cervix, they want to wait until 36 weeks for another scan and then to discuss but I just have a feeling the placenta won’t move out of the way in the next 4 weeks. I also want a plan of action so talking to the doctor next week to schedule a c section, I feel waiting until week 36 is way too long from what I have read. How are you feeling about it?
That’s what they wanted to do for me initially is wait until the 36 week scan but as I was in and out of hospital for best part of 2 weeks I had a couple of interim scans whilst in there and they decided the best thing to do was a c section and it was very unlikely it’d move. Plus I may not even make it to my section date if I end up bleeding again. I asked the doctors for a very honest opinion on whether it’d move or not and all of them said no. I guess it’s slightly different if your pregnancy is progressing healthily but I would ask them bluntly and see if you can get booked in for a c section anyway
Just to add to this I was hospitalised from 31 weeks because of bleeding and managed to hold on to 37 weeks which was the very latest they'd go to! Original plan was to rescan at 36 weeks but I was already in by then!
Thank you Katie and Char, had a scan at 33 weeks and still not moved, spoke to the doctor and said I need a plan of action, it’s giving me anxiety waiting (we are having house renovations and the house is a mess and it won’t be done by week 36/37 which doesn’t help so need to find an alternative place to stay if baby comes early). So they agreed that I can provisionally get booked in for week 37/38 and if it’s moved push it out to week 39. I don’t think it will move so comfortable with this plan but thankfully I’ve not had any bleeds yet. Thank you char for sharing and Good luck with your section Katie
i have this, i’ve had 4 big bleeds with clots in a week now, i’ve been in hospital for 5 days, next big bleed he will have to be delivered if not they will deliver him at 36 weeks, im 31 weeks today, good luck and rest❤️
Hiya, This happened with me with my first daughter. Basically without the transvaginal scan everything looked like it had resolved but it was even 'closer' when they went internally! All the best!
