Low lying and anterior placenta - baby ok???

[LuckyAugust]

Hi all. Had my 20 week scan yesterday. I knew from a scan a few weeks ago that I had an anterior placenta but now told yesterday its low lying too (graded as 3-4). Midwife told me I would have to come back to be re-scanned at 28 weeks to see if its moved. I'm having a section again anyway at 39 weeks so not concerned about that but worried this could affect the baby somehow. Midwife told me not to google which I haven't as yet (already super anxious in this pregnancy) but then didn't really say anything else. Would be grateful for any stories, its the baby I'm worried about

I did, I'm now 36 weeks and baby is fine it's a normal position for a placenta only a problem if it doesn't move, which means a risk of bleeding and csection.

I had a bleed at 33 weeks and a scan and placenta was still low, so rescan this week and placenta has now moved. I'm also having a csection at 39 weeks anyway x

Thanks for your reply. Its so hard to just not google it but know for my own sanity I need to stop myself!! Was more concerned if this would affect babys development but now assuming thats a no. Not long to go now for you, hope everything goes ok

Thanks you. No baby will be fine it's just bleeding to watch out for if you get any go straight in xx

Thanks so much LBNM and Annbag (and congrats on birth of ds!). You have both made me feel so much calmer (until I find something else to worry about! ) xx
