doctor didnt make sence!

I went to the doctors today and she said I have to take it easy because the placenta is low what's that mean?

Well that is what my doctor said, that if it doesn't move up I will have a csection... and I really don't want that so I hope it moves...yeah cramping and back pains could be caused by the placenta...

[Sarahxosmith]

You can get a csecion if its low? :o.
My son is 40 lbs and I can lift him either :( he's such a mommy boy too. I hope it doesn't stay low.,so I'm guessing all the cramping and uncomfortable ness is from the placenta being low?

[eve0512]

Yes, preterm labor can happen with it... yeah my hubby hates the no sex part too... but nothing can be done... hopefully it moves because I don't want a. C section... I think the hardest part for me is not lifting my 17 month old, since she is 29 lb...

I have a low lying placenta as well. My doc just said to watch for bleeding and now I have to get an ultra sound every month. I'm 24 weeks.

ok I get it she told me I couldn't have sex and my boyfriend got sad lol. She also said I could go into preterm labor

Well, my placenta partially covers my cervix and my doctor isn't allowing me to have sex, lift more than 10 lb, and I have to take it easy meaning rest when I can. U can bleed when ur placenta is low...did she tell u that its only low lying or something else? Because it can be low lying not covering cervix, covering the cervix a litlle bit, covering half of. The cervix (that is what I got) and fully covering the cervix... how far are you?

The placenta can be lower down in your uterus, meaning there is a lot of pressure on it since it is below everything else, and therefore, subjected to more pressure.
