Low Lying Placenta

wow okay, so perhaps it could move significantly enough for things to be okay :) and her head being firmly down there hopefully means it might be okay then

i'll have to update at the next scan :)

thanks LeeG, ive had off and on bleeds (very very minor, just a day or two of brown spotting a couple times, which i attribute to the placenta cause no other cause was found ((no bding here lol)) )

baby turned breech yesterday and i had a bit of a momentary freak out that it must mean the placenta is now getting in her way!

but back to her normal position today and i'll have to wait untill wed next week to find out if any changes have happened...

i havnt had any bleeding recently so hopefully thats a good sign.. how scary for you when you had that happen! oh and i'll make sure to tell my partner i have to avoid all housework lol..

Awww, gutted Marengo, i was hoping for a good outcome. BUT, just to put a cheerful face on, my 34 week scan i was being booked for a c-section, a few weeks later i was in the clear. I assume you were offered a final scan?

Imagine what a placenta elf would look like....

Fingers crossed that something like that happens!

apparently if bub holds on until c-section they normally like you to have it at about 38 weeks ... so just think, not too long until you get to meet bubs! Will be interesting to hear what the ob says, I never actually got to see them to discuss the placenta praevia (had the first bleed before my appointment)

I'm over my penciled in c-section date by 18 days now as well, bum!! I had the same sort of feelings when i had my first follow up scan and i was pencilled in. To be honest i felt like i'd failed at even being female, not being able to birth "normally" though that isnt the case at all. I don't say that to put the idea in your head either, just to empathise. I kept telling myself that the moment baby is handed to me for the first time will be magic no matter what exit he takes. My OB was all for skin to skin straight after as well, so they'd check the bub and hand him over all gooey instead of taking him away and dressing him etc. And your partner can be at your side in most cases as well.

I havent got a measurement - i just looked through my notes and the letter from the OB to midwife isnt in my copy, she must have it. I'm "allowed" to birth naturally but no home or water births, blood matches lined up, lure in place so a few restrictions. The OB is referring to it as a "trial vaginal birth" and cautioned me to be prepared for a c-section anyway but fingers crossed all will be well.
