Anybody know???

I have a low lying placenta,it's covering the cervix.
Will my waters still break???
With ds1 they burst like a water balloon, what happens if your placenta is low???

I think if it is low you would be looking at a c-section. Pretty sure they don’t want you to labour with a placenta covering you cervix as it’s dangerous for you and baby.

Unless it moves up it'll be a c-section, they won't want you to go into labour.

Should've said, I will be getting section, just wondered in case I went into labour early if waters would break or if placenta would block it??

Apparently your waters CAN break but there will be alot of blood mixed in there too, due to the placenta being in the way. I'd say either way, call your hospital immediately if this happens.

Good to know, thank you xx
