I had my 20 week scan today- baby is happy and healthy!
However, I was told I have a 'low lying placenta reaching external OS.' It is posterior. I understand that some of these move before birth and the sonographer recommended another scan at 32 weeks. However she didn't seem that encouraged that it would move saying it 'could be hard.'
I have a couple of questions:
- if she said reaching external OS does that mean it is not covering it (as in Placenta Praevia?)
- she didn't mention anything about avoiding sex or heavy lifting but I have read online that many people are told to avoid this?
- She said there were no implications for me or the baby - again looking online that doesn't look correct if it continues!
It was done at the fetal medical centre so I would assume they know what they're talking about but it seems at odds with things I have since read...Any advice would be appreciated
