Low lying placenta in fourth pregnancy

[Jkrodgers]

When to my  22 week appt yesterday an had my U/S. Our baby (Girl!!) looks great!! However I was told I have a low lying placenta and have to comeback next month for another U/S. Anyone else have this before? I've had three other easy births and frankly scared to death by the idea of having a C-section :( I always skipped that chapter in the book since I thought it didn't apply to me.

I had a low lying placenta with my current pregnancy and it came up around 29 weeks. I think it's very common for it to start out low lying and then come up on its own.

My pal had tht and had to go for a csection as there was worries tht it would come out before the baby did, she did have the option for a normal birth but decided to b safe and good thing too coz the cord was rapped tight round her baby and she was told if she had it naturally her and the baby could have died

I sure hope your right :) the recovery time for me has been a week or two. Can't imagine being down for the count four four weeks with four kids.

I had one at my 22 week scan, and it has moved up now as my uterus has grown. I wouldn't worry too much as most do stretch and move out of the way as the pregnancy progresses.
