They probably could do an up and down cut, but these scars def don't heal better - they are more prone to rupturing during later pregnancies/labours. ]]> Sun, 24 Oct 2010 07:00:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=1184001&title=low-lying-placenta#1184001 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : bumped for Marengo ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=1183940&title=low-lying-placenta#1183940 Author: my4beauties

Hi I was told that I had a complete previa at 20 weeks and that it wouldnt move enought to have a natural birth. I was told not to lift any thing, no sex and only gentle excersise for fear of a bleed at my 32 week scan ( had a few in between which is cool to see bubs devolping ) to every bodys huge surprise it had moved away far enough for a natual birth which is what I had with an awesome two hour labour Kaitlin was born on the 11/11/08 I know its easy for me to say now but dont stress about things out of your control cause I did every time I went to the loo I expected to see blood it really made the weeks drag]]> Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:28:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=592112&title=low-lying-placenta#592112 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : Oh yea, I was imagining it really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=592092&title=low-lying-placenta#592092 Author: bluebird

I would have thought that a lateral cut would be worse given that they would have to cut through the whole placenta in order to get to baby, rather than just the lower portion of it... or maybe its just me and my wierd logistics understanding of it all lol

Its going to be a loooong wait to 32 weeks, still got a whole 12 weeks to go LOL!]]> Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:09:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=592071&title=low-lying-placenta#592071 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : I&#039;ve been told that I have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=592058&title=low-lying-placenta#592058 Author: bluebird

I've been told that I have a low placenta too. Though the scan lady wasn't worried about it at all, so that was good, I never thought to check at all out.

When I told my mum she said had Placenta P and that's why she had an emergency c-sect with my younger brother. As they scan technology wasn't nearly as good they had no idea and my mum and bro almost died from the internal bleeding. So i'm glad we have scans these days!

Also just wondering, if it doesn't move for those of you with the placenta at the front, couldn't they make the cut up n down? I remember reading that it's better being cut that way as it's going where the muscles are already split so it heals better, they just don't as most women don't want an even more obvious scar.

I'm sure we will all be fine though, I didn't mean to get any one worried, I'm just glad we will know, unlike my mum is all.]]> Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:02:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=592058&title=low-lying-placenta#592058 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : I was told at ny 20 week scan...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=591669&title=low-lying-placenta#591669 Author: RubyG

I was told at ny 20 week scan that i had a low placenta and that I would need a 30 week scan - 2 weeks later I saw my specialist and he checked with his own scan andsaid that it wasn't the case at all - so either someone was wrong or it moved in that 2 weeks alone??? I read up on this when i thought it might be a problem and pparently the placenta moves enough in about 90% of cases - fingers crossed for everyone it does - uless you want a c-sec of course!! lol]]> Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:14:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=591669&title=low-lying-placenta#591669 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : Pleased I found this, was wondering...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=591241&title=low-lying-placenta#591241 Author: MonicaMouse

Tracey I got told yesterday that mines low lying as well, and to go back at 32 weeks for a re-check...

and as someone else said earlier in thread, mines all down the front too, so yikes if I end up with the elective (had a c-section with DS) cos they'll have to cut through to get to bubs... eep!

I wonder if it will still move if its attached to where the c-section scar would be on the inside???]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:44:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=589372&title=low-lying-placenta#589372 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : Mine was still low at 32 and 34...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=589348&title=low-lying-placenta#589348 Author: lilfatty

My friend who is at 38 weeks now also had a low lying placenta still at her 32 scan and there was all this talk then about placenta previa and c-sections but it moved by the 36 weeks scan so she's back on track for a vb, so I'm going with it being really common I think.

Tracey, both lilfatty and I had low lying placenta's at our anatomy scans too. 

I wonder if it's more common than we realise.  Definitely nothing to worry about.  I read up on placenta preavia after my scan so I could be prepared jic but by the 32 wk scan the placenta had moved up and 7 weeks later I had a very quick natural vb.

I'm starting to feel a lot more movement "down there" so am hoping it means the placenta has already moved its way up. I had a bleed at 15 weeks which came from behind the placenta, it was only a very small bleed but enough to freak me out & would hate to have any more bleeding until of course its actually time to give birth!

Yes Justme - fingers crossed for us both to have natural deliveries!

hey italiah, i've just seen this thread.. I have a low lying placenta too.. mine is sitting partly over my cervix - I have been really worried about what it means or if this meant complications for the birth - glad to read what I have just now from everyone's posts..

I had a scan at 2Owks which was when I initially found out too then another at 25wks which showed it was still quite low.  I am booked for another scan at 31wks to see if there's any change..  I was also told that if the placenta doesn't move I would be having a C-section..  It's quite a shock when all along you are mentally preparing for a natural birth..

Well I saw my MW yesterday & she said not only is it lying low, but also sitting in the front, (as to why I haven't felt movement up to now). So if the placenta doesn't move up at all for a natural birth, even a c-section is risky as they'd have to cut through the placenta!! So they'd have to be quick with cutting then getting the baby out. Eek! Freaky stuff. So here's HOPING this placenta MOVES!!]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:49:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=131733&title=low-lying-placenta#131733 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : Hey Italiah, I had a low-lying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=131461&title=low-lying-placenta#131461 Author: Katherine

Hey Italiah, I had a low-lying placenta at 20 weeks too, and also had to go back for another scan at 32 weeks, by which time it had moved up. It's quite common for the placenta to be low-lying at the halfway point, but as Baby grows bigger and bigger in the third trimester especially, it usually corrects itself. Hang in there! :)]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:04:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=131461&title=low-lying-placenta#131461 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : I had a low lying placenta too...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=131002&title=low-lying-placenta#131002 Author: Nic01

i had one at 34wks with haleigh but it was becuase my mw couldnt work out where her head was lol, she was down so low lol.
im having my scan at 31wks this time round, although they prefer to check it at 32 - 34 wks i got away with it hehe.
i had never heard of it at all before until they noticed it on me, so i initially stressed out about it, but not worried now.
i didnt realsie how common it really was until a few people i know had the same thing.]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 21:04:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130994&title=low-lying-placenta#130994 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : Great to hear a few positive stories....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130856&title=low-lying-placenta#130856 Author: my4beauties

Great to hear a few positive stories. I haven't heard of this much - hasn't happened to anyone I know - so wasn' sure if it was likely to move, although the radiographer lady said it was possible that it would. I'm looking forward to having another scan at 32 weeks anyway! Haven't had one that late before.]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 16:55:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130856&title=low-lying-placenta#130856 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : i get my scan to check if mines...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130347&title=low-lying-placenta#130347 Author: MyMinis

i get my scan to check if mines moved on fri next week.
My mw told me that in most cases it moves up, mine needs to move 2cm so we'll find out on friday.
I think with Placenta PRevia you usually get a little o alot of bleeding (my friend did). but your midwife will explain all to you,
Im sure it will move for you and you'll be able to have bubs naturally ]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:09:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130347&title=low-lying-placenta#130347 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : I&#039;m one of the june ladies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130332&title=low-lying-placenta#130332 Author: kebakat

I'm one of the june ladies who has had this problem. At my 20wk scan my placenta was about 1.5cm from my cervix. I was told to go back and have a scan at 30wks which I did a couple of weeks back and mine has moved out of the way by quite a bit. His head is lower than the placenta which is great.

9/10 placentas move as the uterus expands so don't stress about it!!

Hey Italiah. I know a couple of mum son the june board have had this - one has already had the 32 weeks scan and the placenta has mved. i am sure they will share their stories once they spot this post. Another friend had placenta previa (sp?) and it was later htan the 32 weeks before it was decided things had moved enough to be safe for a natural delivery (she had a great natural delivery too!) So far I haven't heard of anyone's not moving (though i know it happens) so I wouldn't worry about it yet (if you can take your mind off it of course!)]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:26:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130315&title=low-lying-placenta#130315 <![CDATA[Low lying placenta : In my scan this week I was told...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130278&title=low-lying-placenta#130278 Author: my4beauties

In my scan this week I was told my placenta was sitting low - close to the cervix - & would need to go back at 32 weeks to have another scan to see if its moved up. If it hasn't a c-section would be needed.

Has anyone else had this & the placenta has moved up?

After having 2 natural births a c-section would suck but I'd deal with it, having no other option. At least I'd know the birthdate!!]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:36:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6745&PID=130278&title=low-lying-placenta#130278
