placenta previa

[joamb]

Hello,

Any other ladies willing to share their experience with placenta previa this is my first pregnancy and I'm 21 weeks. My doctor is keeping an eye on it and says it could change but I'm to avoid sexual intercourse and doing anything strenuous or heavy lifting. Just would like to know how others pregnancies went with this condition.

I had a complete.  It was 2 cm off my cervix at 32 weeks!  So thankful.

I have a complete previa. It was diagnosed on my 20 weeks ultrasound and im now 29 wks and it still hasn't move. My ob don't think it's going to at this point and gonna schedule my csection next week. i pray that it all goes well for all of us.

No symptoms for me... Absolute amazing pregnancy! Only threw up 3 times in 9 months & never felt sick. Had some dry mouth & feet started to swell a little in the third trimester, but that's seriously it.

I had a complete placenta previa and my doctor made it sound like no big deal. Just told me at 20 weeks that 90% of the time it moves away from the cervix. At my next ultrasound it hadn't moved & found out that I definitely had to have a csection. I was completely devastated because I was planning on a natural vaginal birth with no meds. I freaked out about the spinal. I had no restrictions though... He didn't say anything about sex and I worked until 39.5 weeks & had my csection at 40 weeks.
But then he said that if I did start to have contractions I was supposed to go to the hospital immediately or the placenta would rip, I'd bleed out, and baby would be in serious danger. Didn't hear this from him until about 34 weeks though & that's when I finally had a 25lb weight limit.
Needless to say, I'm happy to have a different doctor this time around... I'm starting to wonder if I actually even had it or if he just wanted extra money for the csection and a set date for labor!

Did you have any symptoms? I've been really sick and wondering if I have that. I'm 23 weeks

I have a complete now at 22 wks. Im also curious to hear some other women's experience.

She didn't say, if it was partial or not just that it's very low and close to cervix and they will do another ultrasound in the 3rd trimester to see if it moves. Hopefully it turns out for the best

I had it with this one. At my 20 week scan it had moved. You still have time mama.

I had it with my first two kids. I did as he said and avoided it and by 30 weeks it was gone. Nothing to worry about. Did they say partial or complete ??
