Placenta previa nearing elcs date

[Sprintfinish]

Any ladies in this situation, or anyone want to share how the last weeks of their pregnancy went?

I'm 36w with my elcs booked for 39w. I had a light bleed at 33w which led to a 2 night hospital stay and live in fear of a heavier one happening. I had consultant appointment today and kinda hoped my date would be brought forward but no, another 3 weeks to go!

Did you do anything differently to avoid bleed etc? I have an 18m old so only so much resting I can get away with!

I got to the 39 weeks appointment and all went fine. I was jittery for those last weeks but no bleeds and lots of rest. She’s currently sitting here doing her homework!

I am 36 weeks and haven’t bled, which surprises me as was told 90% do, I feel constantly on edge waiting for it to happen.
My section is booked for 37+5 mine in anterior previa which apparently is riskier x

I had placenta previa in my last pregnancy. I had a bleed at 30 weeks with an overnight stay but was absolutely fine for the rest of my pregnancy. I never rested as I had 2 small boys to look after who were 2 and half and 18 months at the time! I was at Center Parcs the week before my section (which was brought forward but only because at 36+5 I was diagnosed with vasa previa). So no real tips really!
Good luck!

Thanks for sharing 😊

@Mummyspider27 not long to go! I was hoping for 37+5 but they're sticking with 39.

I feel I had less movement yesterday, but also had a firmer bump. Was back to lots of kicks by bed time.

I also had a weird brown/black thick discharge so debating whether I need to go unit today. My fear is red blood, but that glob was weird!!

I would definitely let them know about that ‘glob’!! Xx
