Hi, at my 12 week scan I was told my placenta ‘looked like it was posterior’. I had a scan last week at 18+4, at a different hospital in the same trust, as I’m under the preterm birth prevention clinic having had an emergency c section at fully dilated with my first child.
This sonographer told me my placenta is anterior and low lying, and if it’s still low lying at the 20 week scan then I’ll be referred to a different hospital (different trust) to check if I have placenta accreta.
My 20 week scan is back at the same hospital where I had the 12 week scan. I’m now worrying that if I see the same sonographer, will I be able to rely on the results?
Basically my question is, is it common/easy to get the position of the placenta wrong at a 12 week scan? I didn’t think it was a thing for a placenta to go from posterior to anterior(?). Does this say anything about that sonographer’s skills/ability? Or am I just worrying for nothing?
