Has anyone else here been diagnosed with placenta previa?
I just got back from my ultrasound and meeting with my midwife, and they told me that my placenta is completely covering my cervix, and because I'm so close to my third trimester, it's most likely not going to move up. So for the time being I'm on pelvic rest, but not complete bedrest.
The articles I've been reading since I got back make it sound like there are a lot of women that are diagnosed with placenta previa that resolves itself later on.
If it doesn't move up, I'll be required to have a c-section (because the placenta would come out first in a natural delivery, leaving the baby without oxygen and that sort of thing), and I'm really hoping it won't come to that. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that in four weeks (my next ultrasound) it will have moved up.
Any more information you have or if anyone has been through this before, I'd love to hear about it. TIA
