I had my 20 week scan today and was told my the sonographer that I have a low lying placenta and need to come back for an extra scan at 36 weeks to see if it has moved out of the way..
I had a previous section and mentioned that I had heard that it was common to have a low lying placenta after a section but she said she didn't know anything about this.
Then I came home and did the worst thing ever - I looked it up!!
I've found stuff (including a 2 year old Mumsnet thread) saying I should be resting and not having sex and I may bleed!!!
But the sonographer didn't mention any of this!
Should I be worried? Should I be avoiding sex? Should I be taking things easy and how do I do that with a toddler at home!?
So wish I'd read up some more before I went and could have asked her about it then when she could see just how low lying it was
