Low lying placenta

Hello. I had my 20 week scan a few weeks ago and have been told my placenta is low lying and covering the cervix slightly. Booked in for another scan at 32 weeks to see if ot has moved. Anyone got any experience of this and if so did yours move so you could give birth naturally or did it stay stuck there and need a c section. Thanks

Mine was low lying and within 2mm of cervix at 20 week scan. It had moved well out of the way by 32 week scan, apparently 9/10 move. My placenta is posterior xx

Found out about mine at 20 weeks too. I had random bleeding throughout my pregnancy and so extra scans before the last one and extra monitoring. And towards the end I had a scan every other day. Mine only moved a few mm so I had a planned c section, they said they don’t like you going over 38 weeks with it so I had mine at 37+4 but was in hospital the week running upto it due to living far away from the hospital if there was a massive bleed or if baby decided to come early as the risk is higher towards the end.
Glad I had a section over natural though.

I had low-lying placenta at 20 weeks with DS1, by 32 weeks it was well clear. Ended up with a section, but nothing to do with placement of placenta :).

I had low lying placenta at 20 weeks scan, no gap it was over the cervix. It was clear by 32 weeks. I needed an emergency csection but it wasn’t to do with this specifically. I developed preeclampsia.
