Placenta Previa

ive been told i have placenta previa where the placenta is completely covering my cervix-  i would like to hear from anyone who also has it, have had it or know of someone who whose had it...im pretty scared bout the whole thing especially the whole c section thing as it can be more complicated than a normal c section and just want to hear some peoples experiences of it.......

I haven't had any experience either, but I have heard of many cases where the placenta moves up and out of the way... I think they check again to see how it is going later in pregnancy

On of the teachers at Andrew's daycare in Palmy her placenta was fully covering the cervix at 19 weeks scan. At 28 weeks it had moved right out of the way and she went on to have a normal delivery.

I had pp with both pregnancies early and by the 33 wk scan both time it had lifted, I still had 2 c-sections tho.  But I don't know of anyone who has had it continue thru to the end of their preg. sorry, hope it goes well for you

and congrats little bug....on the pregnancy....and i thought falling pregnant with miss 1 at 11months was quick ....but i love siblings that are close in age-best buddies!

ginger my midwife just told me yesterday and forbid any sex til atleast 32weeks! i felt a bit guilty cus DH and i had relations the night before.....ive had no bleeding and no probs so will hold out for my 22week scan to see any improvement...........but i gota say too that my MW didnt do me any favours by freaking me out- i had low lying palcenta with my first and MW said nothing about it only that i had to have another scan to check its clear.....and i never thought bout it......yesterday MW basically freaked out and said i was high risk and theres very slim chance things will change blah blah.....

 

but good to know someone else in the same boat and fingers crossed all works out

 

 

shes been great tho and i think she didnt expect it becasue before the fax arrived we were talking about how problem free giving birth to miss1 was and she having baby at birthcare.......so i hope it just took her by suprise

Mrshouse - I'm under an OB and he isn't too concerned at this point. Obviously it's not the best, but he certainly didn't panic me about it. I had another appointment yesterday and the sex thing is just a 'take care, if you have any problems cease and desist, recover, take a break' sort of thing. I've had bleeding and pain as a result, so DH and I are just playing it safe and careful. I don't think it's fair that your MW put the fear of god into you though!
