Placenta praevia?

[waveydays]

Hi I just had my 20 week scan and I have placenta praevia. I am really worried and just wanted to hear stories from other ladies who had it? When did you have to deliver? Was everything okay?

My dc are adults now but recall vividly being told after a scan with DC3 that I had placenta praevia. They said I'd need to go into hospital a couple of weeks before my due date to be monitored. This was an issue as I'd already got 2 young DC.

Remember asking the midwife what to wear when in hospital during this pre birth period and was told comfy lounge wear would do nicely.

After a few weeks I felt prepared and was almost disappointed when at my next scan baby had moved and I no longer had placenta praevia.

I had it with my third. It was completely covering the cervix.
From what I was told 98% with move on it’s own as your belly grows. Only 2% end up needing a csection solely because of placenta praevia.
So the odds are in your favour that it will move mine did and I went on to have a super smooth home birth

Yes mine moved too before birth x

Also had placenta praevia diagnosed at 20 weeks. Like pp it moved as I grew and caused no issues at delivery when DS was born at 30 weeks (unrelated to the placenta issue).

Good luck!
