Pregnancy Week by Week: Second Trimester
Hey all! I’m looking for some positive experiences or a bit of advice as my anxiety is currently through the roof. I went in for my 20 week scan and baby girl is growing beautifully and looked super healthy. However there was a bit of an issue with my placenta. The sonographer explained that I had placenta previa and my cervix was fully covered. Due to the fact that I’ve had two previous C-sections, I am at risk of having placenta accreta, which is where my placenta might have grown into my C-section scar and into my uterus. I have been referred to fetal medicine but any advice would be highly appreciated or if anyone has any experience with this. 🤍🤍🤍

I found out earlier today at my ultrasound that it’s more than possible that I’m going to have to get a hysterectomy because I have placenta accreta that’s also slowing progressing into placenta increta. Did I mentally prepare myself to have a hysterectomy? Yes. Just because I’d rather be prepared for the worst to happen so it’s not a big shock to me, but it’s still very sad that I won’t be able to have any more babies anymore and that this is for sure my last pregnancy. 😭 because of all of this happening I could deliver as early as the middle of July even though my due date isn’t until August 22, but because I’m a type one Diabetic as well I would naturally would’ve had to be induced on August 3, they won’t let me carry past 37 weeks but since my doctors told me I could deliver possibly as early as the middle of July via C-section it’s just mind blowing to me that I basically only have this month left now. 😮💨

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

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.

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
