Are there any midwives or Obs/Gynae medics around who might be able to advise?
I'm 22 weeks pregnant with second baby. At 20 week scan, I found out I have a low lying placenta (partially obstructing cervix) and I'm now booked in for a repeat scan at 32 weeks. Not particularly concerned about this on its own, I know that it's highly likely my placenta will shift away over the next few weeks.
However, my waters broke at 34 weeks in my previous pregnancy. No cause was detected at the time, and no one seems particularly concerned about it this time. I'm not under consultant led care or anything, and no additional checks have been done.
Should I be worried about the low placenta given this PPROM history? I don't know if this is something I need to follow up with my midwife. The sonographer didn't say anything, but I don't know if she connected these two dots.
I guess I'm just concerned that, if my waters were to break early again and before the 32 week scan, an undiagnosed placenta praevia could be very dangerous. Do I need to ask for a follow up scan sooner?
Am I worrying over nothing? I'd never normally ask strangers on the Internet about stuff like this, but Dr Google isn't giving me anything and I dont know whether it's something to bother the midwife with before my next appointment with her in 4ish weeks time.
Grateful for any advice!
