I have a low lying prosteror placenta which last week measured at 1.5cm from os.<br>My midwife assures me that it is all okay and does not require a ceaser.<br>I am really scared as I have read and heard that viginal birth is not usually attempted if the placenta is under 2cm from os.

After going to my OB who said I miscarried because he could not find the HB, he sent me to an Ultrasound to verify...but the baby was alive!  They US tech said I had CPP.  My doctor did not see me again, but their office set up an appt with a high risk dr. in 2 wks.  I was not told anything or what I should be doing.  I also spotted for two weeks from 7-9 wks.  From what it sounds like, most bleeds happen later, so I am... ]]></description>

I have spotted off and on from the beginning.  Twice I have had actual bleeding.  I have very bad sharp pain on the right side. My uterus is extra large (increased by 6inches) and they have only been able to find the heart beat once with the doppler.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi! I am new to this site.  I found out I have complete placenta previa at my 21 week routine us.  (2 weeks ago).  This is my third pregnancy and first one with complications. It is scary and new for me.  I am hoping to talk to some people who are going through a similar experience and some who have been through it.  So far I have not had any bleeds and the dr has put me on very light duty at work (my job is very physical) also pelvic rest and not to lift 15 pounds which exludes my 23 month... ]]></description>

I had numerous miscarriages, then an emergency cesarean in 96 due to preeclampsia, and then a VBAC induced delivery due to preeclampsia in 98, and in the end had an accreta and had to have my placenta removed manually while under anesthesia, hemorrhaged but they didn't catch it until I called an hematologist friend of mine who put a little fire under them, and it turns out I needed two units of packed red cells (I was even having psychotic symptoms!

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, I am new to this forum and I have a question.  I recently had my 2nd son in June of 2003.  I had a complete previa with that pregnancy.  I spent 1 1/2 months in the hospital until he was born at 36 weeks.  My husband and I would really like to have a 3rd child, but I am very scared that I would have placenta previa again.  Can anyone provide information based on their own experiences as to what the chances are of having a previa with another pregnancy?  I have only had 1 c-section.  I am... ]]></description>

The u/s technician also told me that there is an abnormality on my placenta and there is a mass near the cervix.  She thought it might be scar tissue from my previous c-section.  I have not been put on any restrictions yet, I see the dr tomorrow.  Just wondering if you could provide some insight...should I abstain from sex, chances of placenta... ]]></description>

I was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa at my 19 week ultrasound. My doctor explained exactly what it was and she gave me her restrictions.

			<description><![CDATA[ I am 23, and this is my third pregnancy. I was told at 15 weeks I had a low-lying placenta, and have had an additional 2 ultrasounds since -- the latest was one week ago, and my placenta had not moved. I am scheduled for one in approximately 5 weeks. What are the chances of the placenta migrating at this point? I am very upset at the idea of a cesarean (I have had two completely normal vaginal deliveries) and don't like the thought that I will never again have a vaginal delivery if this one... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was diagnosed with a placenta previa at the routine 20 week appt ultrasound. I have had an US every 4 weeks and it hasn't moved hardly at all.  Usually the tech will say it is more serious than the radiologist report that is given to the doctor. Usually it says partial to marginal.  At my 32 week appt the doctor told me that if the previa hadn't moved (from the report he would get on that day's us) he would do an amnio at 37 weeks and do a C-section if she was ready.   At my 34 week he... ]]></description>

I had some bleeding this past week-end, had a level II ultrasound yesterday and the left side of my placenta is about 1/2 cm from my cervix. I was told that at 36 weeks, if my uterus has not moved my placenta up another 1-1/2 cm, I'll be looking at a c-section.

But then my midwife called back that night and told me that I have complete previa. She gave me my restrictions, and said we will do another U/S in 4 weeks(at 22 weeks pg). I just had the 22 weeker U/S, and the tech. said that my placenta had moved and was barely even marginal. I am so confused, because my midwife said in 27 years she has never seen a complete correct itself. I... ]]></description>

Now at 21 weeks, I still have placenta previa complete, with no change. <br>I've read ALOT about this, and it seems as though the chances for complete previa correcting itself seem slim. <br>But my doctors will do ultrasounds up to one month before my due date to confirm a c-section. <br>What are my chances at this point of having this correct itself, and WHY... ]]></description>

I felt fine and had no idea what the problem was until I went into the ladies room.  I had seen what I saw before in my life.  I had never felt so scared.  A co-worker rushed me to the hospital.  The dr looked at me and told me more than likely I was having a miscarriage.  Finally i was brought in for an ultra sound.  In my mind I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Now that my scheduled c-section is getting closer, I'm starting to think about it a lot. I have been reading birth stories on line, but a lot of them don't go into detail about the actual surgery experience and what it's like. The ones that do seem to be kind of traumatic. Does it really feel like you can't breathe? Do most people get nauseated or get the shakes, etc? How bad does the tugging and pulling feel? I want details. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img... ]]></description>
