Low laying Placenta

I had at both of my babies and by 32 weeks it had moved up 🤗 but was told if it didn't I'd have a c section. Also fyi if you're planning on a holiday they say you're not fit to fly with LLP x

Yep same here. It's very rare for it to not move up though so try not to panic 😊

I had the same and by my scan at 32 weeks, it had moved up. I did the same as you and googled it, convinced myself that I’d have to have a c section and was really worried but it was fine in the end!

Hey this popped up on my FYP. I’m a December 2023 mum and I had my 20 week scan at 18 weeks and my placenta was low lying.

I knew in my heart of hearts that it wasn’t going to move & began mentally preparing for a c-section.

Everyone told me all the stories of everyone they knew who had their placenta move. Mine didn’t! It was actually grade 4 which counts as placenta praevia. But I am definitely the minority.

Had my c section at 38 weeks and my recovery was absolutely fine. I did really want a vaginal labour, but I think it helped that I became at peace with it, so I was okay with whatever happened.

I also think how incredibly lucky we are with modern medicine. If it wasn’t picked up and I had gone into spontaneous labour, there’s a very real chance I wouldn’t be here with my baby boy x

I had my 20 week scan last week and was also told I have a low lying placenta. I have also been booked in for a scan at 32 weeks.

I had the same and went for my 32 week scan last week and it hasn’t moved. I’ve got to go back at 36 weeks to check again but I’m very much preparing for needing a c section. My first was born vaginally and honestly, I think a c section might actually be the better option for me personally this time. There’s no ‘easy’ or ‘right’ way to have a baby - so whatever is safest is definitely the most important thing 😊 x
