I was told I had a low lying placenta 6
weeks ago. Thus, the no sex order......I
had my 20 week ultrasound a few days ago.
I am waiting to hear what my doctor has to
say. Has anyone on the bboard heard of a
"partial low lying placenta". It appears
from what the technician said, that half
the placenta migrated. The far right side
is still low lying.
Do you think given time it will rise too?
It's very nerve wracking since I want to
have a natural birth. Fyi for those that
are not aware, a low lying placenta may
mean c-section.

Hey hun,
I was diagnosed with same thing at 18
weeks, I have already done 3 u/s and im 28
weeks now, they ended up finding out I
have marginal previa(low laying placenta
with part on os/cervix.) usually they
dont worry unless there is bleeding/pain,
I was spotting a bit and I got bedrest and
I was just in pain everyday.
If it doesnt move up by 36 week u/s I will
have to have c-section and I have no
choice with low laying you can have a
natural birth, I did alot of research as I
like to know what is going with my body.
As long as placenta isnt covering any part
of the of the cervix you wont need a
c-section and your still early that it can
move up as the same can happen to me if
you want anymore info send me an email im
always weilling to help especially since
your in the same sitiuation.
Take care and wish you lots of luck!!
Jess

I had placenta previa with my third child.
It was caught early by u/s and I was
ordered not to lift over 5lbs. Dr. Told
me that mine would probabaly go back up as
the pregnancy progressed and it did. I
guess it depends on the severity of the
previa. I have heard that total previas
are very serious. No matter the
severity, please take it easy and try not
to use your stomache muscles too much. I
used a little trick to get around
that......I use my leg muscles in place of
my stomache muscles whenever possible.
Be carefull!!!

I was told my placenta was low-lying
around 24 weeks but it has since corrected
itself. My doctor told me that most low
placentas start off low and then
eventually move, some quicker than others.
Try not to worry and good luck!

I don't think the cervix is blocked. I
was hoping 6 weeks would be enough to get
the darned thing to migrate. My doctor
says he'll know more on monday when the
radiologist has time to speak w/ him.
I am not in any pain (thankfully) in that
region, and only the one time with the
spotting. It's important that the baby
stays safe........The lack of emotional
side of lovemaking with my husband is hard
to deal with. I keep telling myself it's
temporary.
In the meantime, I am wearing a (doctor
approved) thermacare heatwrap on my lower
back. Squishy insides has left my core
muscles at a loss! Hopefully I will
manage to get through the final 4 months.
I am glad this bboard is here :)
