Placenta Previa?
I was just wondering if anyone here had any experiences with placenta previa? We're only 13 weeks, but I had bleeding this week and an ultrasound showed the placenta completely covering the cervix. The doc said it was very likely that as the uterus grew, that the placenta would move up. If you've had this, did yours move up?
Thanks so much!

I didn't have it but one of my girlfriends did and her OB put her on bedrest for a couple weeks and it did move up and they kept an eye on it to make sure it stayed up. I don't know if the bedrest was actually necessary or not but I think it helped to put her at ease because there was less bleeding.

I had that with both my pregnancies and it moved up everytime. I think since ca. week 20 it slowly went up. I was stressed about it for the first time, but for the second time I hardly remembered about it.

Mine started moving around this time. Maybe because that's when the uterus starts growing more? My dr. measured it on every appointment and it was always 0,8 - 1 cm higher every time since that 20 wks.

I had complete placenta previa with DS2. Most move up, unfortunately, mine did not. As your uterus grows, the stretching kind of makes it 'migrate'--not sure of how else to say it,
 , Insist that your Dr keep an eye on it--with additional ultrasounds. Report ANY bleeding throughout your pregnancy right away.

I had it with DS and it also moved up by the 20th week. I was spotting most of the time during my first trimester so I was put on meds and was advised bed rest.

Allie I just had this with my last pregnancy, they found it at 20 weeks and my doctor also told me that it would likely move up and if it didn't I'd have to have a c-section. I worried the whole time and my OB kept pushing my "check up ultrasound" further back. I also had a double whammy of a breech baby and that was going to complicate things if I need a c-section but finally at 38 weeks I had an ultrasound to check the placenta and it had indeed moved clear to the top of my uterus!!!
Good luck...I'll keep you and your sweet babe in my thoughts!!!

I haven't had this, but I am sending you lots of positive thoughts! I know a couple of my friends have had it, and it did move up for them.

First huge congrats Allie! I am so excited for you!
I had a full placenta previa with Sophie and it never moved- but I am the exception to the rule. I really was fine until about 30 weeks and then I started to have spotting. They put me on bed rest for 4 wks and delivered her via c-section at 36 wks to prevent any further complications like hemoraging etc. They did ultrasounds every 4 wks to check the position of the placenta, so I got to see alot of my baby LOL. Bedrest was not so fun but we were really blessed that everything worked out as smoothly as it did. I will be crossing my fingers and praying for you that everything goes smoothly! ~ Dani

I had complete placenta previa but mine never moved up. I was about 4 months when I spotted and that is when they found out I had placenta previa. Besides that spotting, I never really had any more complications. I worked full time as a teacher right up until my scheduled c-section!
She's a beautiful 15 year old now!

Yes, I had a c-section, but for me, I had one with DS1 and I planned on a c-section for DS2. They also could tell from the ultrasound that I had a very large placenta. I spotted a lot throughout the first trimester(not a lot of blood at any one time, but often). All was smooth sailing until about week 26 or so. (I was over doing it though, so when the Dr. says, bedrest, stay in bed! I was working full time and traveling cross-country like a crazy person--totally dumb of me). Then, had some spotting and then some more. DS2 was a little over 6 weeks early, totally healthy and only stayed in the NICU for a little over a week. He is 7 now and fine. PM me if you need anything. Congratulations and big hugs. I totally know how scary this is!

HUGS! I had a partial with all 3 pregnancies, along with minor bleeding. They all moved up by the 20 week u/s.
