I was scanned at 22 wks and had complete previa then. I'm trying not to worry but it's really getting me down; the next scan's not due apparently until about 32 weeks or something - I'm currently 24. I'm really feeling as though I can't wait that long (god, that sounds even more childish when you write it). If it has moved, I could relax; if it hasn't, I could at least feel as though all the worry is worth it, IYSWIM. Part of my panic is that I read (thanks google) that the average onset of bleeding with complete previa is 29 weeks, so I would like to know if I should expect this or if the risk has defnitely gone.
I have an appt with the gp next week and was wondering if there's any chance I could (or should?) ask for an earlier scan to see if it has moved. Does anyone know if that's likely? Or if it's more likely to move later on when things are expanding quicker? Or should I just shut up and wait until the scan... Any advice/thoughts really appreciated as I'm driving myself slightly insane here.
