Low lying placenta

I had this with my 1st, had another scan at 36 weeks and all was fine!! My doctor told me it's very common and as you expand the placenta will usually move up. Best of luck 😊

I’m in the exact same position! I’m about to go into 26 weeks and waiting on my scan to come through at 32 weeks! They said at my 20 week scan it was 2cm away from my cervix so hoping it moves too🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m in the same boat. Thankfully I have a repeat 20w scan tomorrow because little lady was being stubborn so hopefully even in 2 weeks my placenta would have moved 😂 it was measuring 11mm from my cervix at my 20w scan. I’m 22+2 today xx

It’s very very common to be low initially + to then move. The way they explained it to me is like if you take a Sharpie + put a dot on the neck of a balloon, the dot is really close to the edge, but when you blow that balloon up, the dot has seemingly moved like 4 inches away. There are risks if your placenta is still low at 30+ weeks, but it’s extremely rare x

Of everyone I know personally that’s had a low placenta I’m the only person I know that it didn’t move for and actually ended up with placenta previa. It is very common and generally moves up. I will say though try and make peace with the fact it may not move. I was told constantly it’ll move, it’ll move, it’ll move and then I got to 35 weeks and was admitted to hospital with bleeding and I could not get my head around the fact that it hadn’t moved and I had to stay in until 36 weeks when they delivered my little boy. I think it made the C Section a lot harder to process because I never entertained the thought that it wouldn’t move. Sending so much love and hopes of movement and a reminder that baby will be absolutely perfect regardless! 🤍
