How Low Is Low Lying Placenta a Danger? Posted: 07-18-07 05:57am


HI, im @ 29wks pregnant and since im visiting a subsidised O&G clinic, the doc did not say much about my condition, unless i took a specialist. I just want some of my questions answered so that i can put my mind at ease, especially since there have been recent report in SG about mummies dying from prefused bleeding due to this condition. I just wish o know how low is being too low and a danger to the mummy? the doc just told me that i was @ 2.6cm and that i have to be @ 5cm to be in the 'safe-zone'..... or so he says. what does that mean? do i have enough time for the placenta to 'move'? secondly, since the lower part of out uterus is not as nurtient rich as the upper part, what can i eat or do to make the nutrient exchange more efficent? the chart shows that my bby is @ 1kg currently, just a little bit lighter than expected. lastly, can i opt for a normal birth? the doc kept pestering me to take a specialist and opt for a C-section. i had a c-section 2 years before and i was a very unpleasant experience. any tip or precaution i should take in time of labout? thanks, any answers to my doubts will b greatly appreciated.
