Im 28 weeks pregnant?

Question

with low placenta and the hospital said if it doesnt move then i'll have to have a c-section, is this always the case or does it move? I'm really worried

Answer 1

Hello,you will be checked during scans that your consultant and team will arrange for you,this will show if at all that it is too low,i have a friend and she has the same and she is now 4 days over due,she had more scans than i had but they do keep an eye on you and your baby and a c section isnt awfull i have had 3 and i am planning to have another baby nxt year so will have another c section.All the best and dont worry xx

Answer 2

The hospital told me the exact same thing when I was pregnant with my daughter, and as I grew larger (much, much larger!) the placenta moved up, like when you blow up a balloon. If you put a spot on the bottom of the balloon when its only a little bit blown up, when you fully blow it up to its capacity, you'll see that the spot has moved further up. At 28 weeks, you've still got a lot of growing to do, so theres a good chance that it will shift. They seem to like to tell you that you'll need a c- section, withall 3 of my kids (my youngest is 5 months) I was told with every pregnancy that I'd need a csection, they got me all worried for no reason, and I've delevered all of mine naturally, with absolutely no fuss. Best of luck to you for the rest of the twelve weeks you have left. Try not to worry too much. Hope this helps.....

If the placenta does not move, then yes, you will have a c-section. C-sections are not bad. In the end, the reward is the same, and thats what your concern should be, not how the baby is born, but the reward you receive in the end.

Answer 4

The chances of the placenta moving is very low. I've had a couple friends with same condition and all of them had c-sections with healthy babies. Just keep going to your obgyn and everything will be okay!!!

Answer 5

If thats similar to the placenta previa, I just sent my friend with that a link, that showed 95% of the cases diagnosed in 2nd trimester will fix themselves!! weee

Answer 6

No, it can move right up to the last minute.
Dont worry about having a c-section through. I had to have an emergency one and it was fine, no problem.

Answer 7

just leave it to its fate, time will tell, regular follow-ups make the most sense, regular ultrasonography counts

pray, try and smile, its normal, as c-section isn't really a hardcore now a days, women, having C-sections recover in a few days with an appropriate postop treatment

u didn't tell ur other gyn history, this could limit the advices you may collect

Thanx

Answer 9

i dont reallyknow if it does move that often! a low lying placenta often blocks the cervix which makes it impossible for the baby to come our of the birth canal! fingers crossed and lets hope it does move for you!

Answer 10
