Low lying placenta

I was wondering if anyone has flew with a low lying placenta? I’ve not had any bleeding or complications but I’m now concerned they won’t allow me to fly. I see my midwife at 27+2 but we fly when I’m 29+2

Just looking for any advice or anyone who has been in a similar position

Pregnancy scans

Scotland NHS Experience

Can anybody share how NHS Scotland dealt with their low lying placenta? And what region you were in.

I’m anterior and low lying, from ultrasound at 30 weeks looks not to have moved since 20 weeks but getting an internal scan at 32 weeks to specifically determine.

Have found NHS papers online which suggest birth approach decisions are made at 32 weeks but also seen research that high percentages can move between 32 and 36 week and even up to 38.

For several reasons I really don’t want a section but obviously will if baby ends up at risk. But want to make sure decisions aren’t made earlier than need to be.

Pregnancy scans

Left lateral wall placenta

I had my 20 weeks scan and they said my placenta is on the left hand side. I've never heard of this being in this position. I looked it up and it said it could be to do with pre - eclampsia. Has anyone got any advice please? I'm a bit worried now

Struggling.

2 weeks post op from c-section/ partial hysterectomy due to placenta increta that was close to being percreta. They suspected a focal placenta accreta since 20 weeks at my MFM anatomy scan. We were scheduled for 37 weeks to do c-section with possible hysterectomy because I was stable and they really weren’t sure of what was really happening even with an MRI at 28 weeks and over 10 ultrasounds. At 35 weeks 2 day, I had minimal spotting for the first time and it was decided it was best to not wait and deliver baby girl 35+3 in a VERY controlled environment. I opted for an epidural so I could be awake in case it was worse case scenario with hemorrhaging and needing hysterectomy. Once they pulled baby girl out, I started bleeding very badly. I needed 4 units of blood, 2 units of platelets, and 2 units of plasma. I stayed conscious the entire time and thankfully made it out on the survivor side. Baby girl was in NICU for less than 24 hours and we got to go home 3 days after she was born. Since 20 weeks, I tried to mentally prepare myself of the possibility of losing my uterus. We wanted more kids and I feel robbed I didn’t get to enjoy what I know now, was my last pregnancy. I’ve been trying to be positive and tell myself I have 2 beautiful daughters and got to carry two pregnancies but I feel like reality is slowly hitting now. As soon as I start to think about not having more babies or all the trauma, I shut it off in my brain because it’s like I can’t handle the reality. I start therapy next Thursday to talk about everything and hopefully get some coping skills. Just wondering if any mamas who have gone through this or can relate and give some advice, it would be so appreciated. xo Mel❤️

Pregnancy Week by Week: Second Trimester

Low lying placenta

Hi! I'm 28 weeks and have a low lying placenta, I started spotting this afternoon so went to the day unit and was monitored for a couple of hours before being sent home. Can spotting be a one off thing or is it usually the start of something? has this happened to anyone else and what was your experience? Thankyou!
