Hi all,
I'm new to Mumsnet, so hello everyone!
I had my 20wk scan a few days ago and was told I had a low lying placenta which needs to be re-scanned at 34 weeks. If it hasn't moved up (which apparently in most cases it does) I will need to have a c-section. I know this is not the worst scenario at all - most importantly, the little bumblebee inside me is healthy - but I would much prefer a vaginal birth. Anyone else had a low lying placenta at this stage of your pregnancy? How common is this?
They say that as the uterus grows the placenta usually moves up. I still barely have a bump at all - does that indicate that my uterus is still quite small so has plenty of time to grow (and hence plenty of time for the placenta to move also?), or is there no link between the two?
Any knowledge or experience would be great!
Thanks.
