So I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant. At 24 weeks I was told that I had a partial placenta previa. I was back at the hospital today and a scan showed that I now have total placenta previa. The consultant that I saw told me in one breath not to worry too much but then started quizzing us about how far we lived from the hospital and how quickly we could get there in rush hour and non rush hour traffic! She didn't seem to want to give me much info as in her words "most of them move by 32 weeks and you'll have been worrying for nothing". She did tell us that if it was still like this at 34 weeks then I would likely have a c section at 37 weeks. I was also warned about bleeding and told not to engage in any kind of sexual activity.
So over to you, can anybody share any personal experiences, good or bad? I just feel really out of control now and it's not a nice feeling. Some knowledge would be good! I will be scanned again in 2 weeks time.
