Answer 1

Well if your placenta is low and covering your cervix then you will most likely be diagnosed with placenta previa which will mean you will need a c-section. My placenta was a little low during my 25 week ultrasound and they watched it up until I delivered. It ended up that even though it was low lying it wasn't covering the cervix so I was fine.

Answer 2

If your placenta is touching, or covering your cervix, then you will be given a diagnosis of placenta previa, and yes you would require a C-section. They do not give out the actual diagnosis until you are in your 3rd trimester because your uterus grows a lot and can pull the placenta up and away from your cervix. In fact, 95% of the time this happens by the time you are ready to deliver. I had placenta previa and at the very end, the placenta was pulled up. I had all the same restrictions as you did. I work with premature babies and was so scared because I had a couple who were born early because their mom had this condition. What can happen is the placenta will abrupt because it is so low and the tissue is thinner down there and an emergency C-section is performed. It used to be, way before all the medical intervention we have now that the baby would just die because they are cut off from the placenta but now this rarely happens. At the first sign of bleeding you would need to go straight to the hospital. I actually had a minor abruption at 36 weeks, because the placenta was still really low then, but I didn;t need the C-section. I'm sure you will be fine. At your next sonogram the placenta will most likely be up and away from your cervix.

Answer 3

It is true and depending on how low, no sex, heavy lifting and no standing for long periods of time. However, your placenta can migrate north, mine did. However, I still had to have a c-section.

First baby and delivery is scarry because you don't know what to expect. Just go into this flexible, because you may end up having a C. Don't let this spoil the birth experience. I was not happy at first, but it is what it is. Honestly now that things are said and done, I'm pretty happy knowing my next one is a C.

Good luck and congrats.

Answer 4

At 25 weeks, your placenta may still move away from the cervix. You have either partial or full placenta accreta at the moment. You will have another ultrasound to check its placement. You cannot deliver the placenta before the baby, hence the mention of delivering by C section.

Answer 5

ok a low laying placenta has no longer something to do with something you're doing. this is the place the placenta has related to the wall. this is suitable to have your placenta up the staggering portion of your Uterus because it can not hinder the infant's go out :D. in spite of the shown fact that, because of the fact yours is low and not alongside the backside the probabilities of your Uterus growing to be to the factor the place the placenta is on the section extremely than low is sturdy. this is low now yet wont be in some months while which will actual count number. It has no longer something to do with you doing something its in basic terms the place the plactenta related itself. If it replaced into later on your pregancy then i could say a C-section yet because of the fact its nonetheless early so which you 'could desire to' be effective. He could desire to have defined this exact. A low placenta could desire to mean to 3 it is 'functioning' low, it dosnt.

Answer 6

Sometimes the placenta will move up and you will be able to have a natural birth. I had the same thing with my first pregnancy and my placenta moved up. Don't stress over it yet ypu still have time. Just do what your dr says and you should be fine.
