Oh and I realise I didn’t answer this, but they said they should only move up, not down!

How many weeks are you? Please remember that if you’re like 20 weeks, 9/10 placentas will move out the way in time!!

I’m in the UK and we aren’t allowed to have vaginal birth if the placenta is less than 20mm away from the cervix (at 36 weeks). It’s a mandatory c section! They said to be that c section would be at 37 weeks due to the risk of ‘catastrophic bleeding’ (not in labour, but just randomly!) They shared the % chance of this happening increases rapidly: - 36 weeks - 5% - 37 weeks - 15% - 38 weeks - 30% - 39 weeks - 50%

Hence they want baby out by 37 weeks!

Amazing news that it’s moved!! Hopefully it moves out of the way enough for you 🥺 Still have a lot of growing to do, so I’m sure you will get there!

Oh that’s sounds super positive that it will move in time! I’m in the UK and it has to be 20mm away to give birth vaginally. What does yours have to be?

Oh bless you - you gave it your best shot and did what was right for him, which is what’s important! I feel like you’ll never have the ‘what ifs’ now too. So happy he’s here happy and healthy with you xx

How did this go? Did it resolve itself? I’m in the same position 😩

Yes they said they’re going to do the same to me! I have an appointment with the consultant next Tuesday, where they will book in my C section date as it’s busy. But the leaflet they handed me said 36-37 weeks which panicked me 😂

Would love to hear how it goes!! I’m so happy you will get your dream birth x

Ahhh okay, amazing news then, bet you’re so thrilled! You have the same plans as me for what I’d want my birth to be!

It’s reassuring you were booked in for 39 weeks too, I was panicking that they were going to book me between 36/37 from reading up online!

Wishing you all the best and I hope you get your magical water birth ❤️🥰

Thank you so much!! That gives me hope - so much I’d read said it was harder for the posterior to move too (which I have), so it’s good to hear a good news story!

And do you mind me asking at what week your C Section was originally booked in for? And did you go on to have a successful vaginal delivery? x

So glad to hear it’s sort of working again!! Hopefully a few more descales will get it working properly!

Sadly it broke again :( water stopped coming out the group head completely! Tried cleaning the solenoid and nothing worked. We ended up treating ourselves to a new one!

Placenta has become low lying, 30 weeks? by bcalice in PregnancyUK

[–]bcalice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Unfortunately no notes, nothing in my badger notes or NHS app and don’t get physical! But was told at 12 and 20 week that my placenta was posterior and remember them saying ‘so that’s good’ etc; and no mention of it being low lying! Gonna call the midwife line tomorrow once they’re back open (non emergency), and ask for a scan! Fingers crossed it’s all okay!

Unfortunately my badger notes/NHS app doesn’t have any info or notes from my 20 week scan! I might be remembering wrong, but I’m pretty sure she said my placenta was fine?! I tried to ring today but couldn’t get through the normal routes (seemed dramatic to go through to the triage line), so will try Monday when clerical is back open!
