Placenta Previa at 32 weeks
Just had my 32 week scan to check placenta location after it covering the cervix at my 20 week scan. It’s stil entirely over my cervix. I have a follow up consultant appointment tomorrow. But generally speaking if you have complete placenta previa at 32 weeks when would you have your C section?

@Harri hey it’s posterior placenta previa. My consultant has booked my C section for 36+6 on 30th December! Eeek
Ahh, it seems more common for posterior placentas not to move. I wish you all the best, I’m sure everything will go great. And you know your baby will be with you before the year is over ❤️
@Harri thank you! And you too. All the best on your arrival ☺️☺️
You are still entitled to a 36 week scan if the placenta hasn't moved by 32 weeks. I had a low lying placenta and during my many nights of reading research papers and listening to women's stories, some with a complete poster placenta previa still had a placenta change of heart where it moved so I think still ask for an additional scan. You never know!

Hello, can I ask, is your placenta anterior or posterior? Thanks. I wouldn’t know the answer to when they might want to do the section but I imagine it would depend on whether or not you have any bleeding. If not I still assume they might want to do it at 37-38 weeks to prevent any potential bleeding, but that is just based on the little knowledge I have. I myself am a placenta previa baby and my mum had a rupture, so she had no choice but to have an emergency section, back then they didn’t even monitor the position of the placenta so they had no idea.
