Can you help please from your experience
does anyone have low laying placenta and was told to have c-section before 37 weeks . And decided to wait after 37 weeks to give time for baby to mature and not having the steroid injection before??

How many weeks are you now? I had one diagnosed at 20 weeks, was still low at 28 weeks but then at 32 weeks it had completely shifted out of the way. I haven't heard of a c section being done for it before 37 weeks, usually it would be 37-38 weeks I would have thought?

I had a low lying placenta with my first baby - purely low lying not covering / touching the cervix. Was sent for a re scan at 32 weeks to see if it had moved and it had. I believe 9/10 move out the way.
never heard of scheduling a c section for pre 37 weeks unless emergency, usually week 39.
how many weeks are you?
