34 weeks low lying placenta, any tricks to move it?

[Sella]

I have a low lying placenta, going for another scan in 2 weeks, it's moved a bit but not enough to avoid c-section at mo. Really want natural delivery so has anyone got any tricks to help shift it, it posterior by the way

[Lulumama]

you cannot do anything to move your placenta. it has implanted in a lower place and it might be that as your uterus stretches and grows over the next 2 weeks or so, it moves enough to no longer hinder a VB

AFAIK there is nothing oyu cna do to move it

is it partially covering your internal os?

or just near ?

i was told all the way through i would need a cs for this reason, until about 36 weeks when as lulumama says, the uterus had stretched enough to gradually lift it away from the exit lol.

as it happened, at 39 + 4 they then decided i needed a cs for macrosomia, and told me to go and get myself sorted and be back at the hospital by 3pm. i guess i just wasn't destined for a vb that time lol.

nothing but time and a helping of luck i'm afraid...

Nothing you can do apparently?I?ve been asking the same thing myself.

I?ve been booked for a 34 week scan and told that the decision regarding a CS or natural delivery will be made at that point and that I won?t be scanned again (mind you after reading your post I may push for one if my placenta is still low as I really want a homebirth this time around)

If you have been offered another scan at 36 weeks that sounds good, just keep your fingers crossed. I have spoken to quite a few women though who have said by the end it had moved though so keep hopeful!
