I have a low lying placenta covering the opening to the cervix which means a few things:
1) Probable bleeding during the during the second or third trimester, if so, I'll have to be on bedrest
2) I will probably have to have a c-section
3) I am at risk for early labor which can lead to all sorts of complications
I've been told, though, that most placenta previa cases that are seen during the 20-week scan are resolved by the third trimester. The uterus grows/stretches and the placenta shifts upward from the cervix. I'm hoping that this happens to me.
Right now there's not much I can do, so I'm not that worried. I'll just have to wait until I'm rescanned at week 28 and hopefully (fingers crossed), the placenta will have moved. So far I haven't had any spotting or bleeding and I'm hoping that it stays that way.

I hope it corrects itself and doesn't cause you any problems for you Sooz!
Hopefully it moves before there are any issues. I'm glad you aren't stressing about it, since there really isn't anything you can do at this point. Fingers crossed everything resolves quickly!
I hope it resolves itself by the 28 week scan. THat's good it hasn't caused any problems yet. I saw another blogger who had that problem and it resolved and she is past her due date now.
Hopefully it will resolve itself and you won't have to worry at all about what it could mean for later trimesters. You can handle this!
i'm gonna be miss sunshine and say this is nothing! has happened to 30-40% of girls i feel like who are preggers and they ALL ended up fine! most got c-sections but healthy babies for all! xoxo.
This happened to me, but unfortunately mine didn't resolve. I had a lot of episodes of bleeding and my baby girl was born by C-section at 37 weeks. BUT...she was healthy and perfect at birth and it was all worth it. I have my fingers crossed for you that you are in the majority and your placenta will move up.
oh no...just seeing this now.. Hope everything fixes itself for you! Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year to you and thanks for the positive thoughts Sooz! Hope everything is going well!
