Low lying placenta

Got told at my 20 week scan that I need to come back as I have a low lying placenta. I know this is probably quite common and it can move by the time I get a follow up scan. How do I not stress myself out about it? I feel okay with a C-section as I’d be more in the known but I’m still also petrified.

I was diagnosed with complete placenta previa at 12 weeks and just found out it has fully moved! You still have a ton of time for it to move so keep your hopes high!

Not sure if this helps at all as you said you feel ok with a c section, I had a planned/emergency c section and I absolutely loved it. Don’t google. Don’t research to much and just listen to your body. You’ll be okay!

Me too. I'm 22+3 and at my 20 week scan they said it was low lying. There is a 90% chance that it will have moved by 32 weeks. If it doesn't you'll be scheduled for a section 36-37 weeks.

I had a section with my first (after a long labour) and it's obviously a harder recovery, but isn't that bad and whatever happened you'll be fine ❤️❤️ xx

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
