I had a low lying placenta at 20weeks, checked me again at 32 weeks and it had moved well out of the way. 90% of low lying placentas move before birth x
Yes I had a low lying placenta pretty early on in my pregnancy, it’s not too concerning if it’s early as it does move as your pregnancy progresses. However they did tell me no sex/nothing up there until it had moved further away.
I had this because it was actually causing irritation and I was bleeding most days! but it moved out the way by the time my second scan!
Ah that’s reassuring as I’ve just had my 20 week scan and they told me this, and have booked me for. A 32week one to see if it’s moved x
Yes at 20 weeks had a second scan at 32 weeks and it moved. 9/10 it moves
I did in my first pregnancy. It had moved by 32 weeks - my mum and MIL also had this and it moved for them too
Yup but they just said it’s low and that was it really. They also said it can move through out the pregnancy and it’s not really anything to worry about x
Did any of yous have spotting/ bleeding , as the midwife said that could happen
@Paige I didn't, I also wasn't given any advice like I've heard other have had, like no sex etc
Okay yeah as she didn’t say no sex to me, she just said you might get a bit of spotting etc this is my first pregnancy so I’m a bit worried x
I didn’t have any spotting or bleeding and they never told me to avoid sex.
Okay that’s good to know thank you x
Yeah I do.

I was told no heavy lifting, only mild exercise and no sex until they confirm it’s clear.
20 weeks. They said I’ll be scanned again at 32 & then 36 if it’s still not past 20mm. But like others have said, for most people you stretch enough for it to be fine.
Yeah agree I’m just a worrier as you can probs tell! This is my first pregnancy so want everything to be okay x
Yes I have a low lying placenta Going back for a scan at 32 weeks then 36 weeks to check if it’s moved
First pregnancy is really scary. You’ll be fine ❤️ Just take it easy x
It really is! I haven’t stopped worrying since my scan today! Just trying to relax and switch off, thank you hun! 🩷xxx
Let me know if anyone’s been told they have a low placenta
