Low lying placenta

Had our 20 week scan today and i have a low lying placenta. I am terrified of having a C-Section and really wanted to go into a natural labour this time as I was induced with my first. Has anyone had this with a posterior placenta and it moved out the way?

I also found out I have a low lying placenta, and have another scan at 32 weeks. The sonographer said he was pretty certain it would move, and apparently it's quite common to move!

Did they say if it is covering the cervix? If not I think that's a good sign that it will move, or that's what I was told

With my second i had a low lying placenta, by 34 weeks it had shifted up so it is possible but i think it depends on if its covering the cervix or not xx

Elective c-section

Hi everyone! Im just really confused and would love to hear about other people's experiences.....
I had a 3b perineal tear after my first little one 2 years ago and now im 31 weeks pregnant and they've given me an option between an elective c-section vs natural birth. Im terrified about the c-section as ive never had surgery before and I've heard of people getting the "shelf" that never goes away.... The obstitrician recommends a c-section saying there's a 10-15% chance that I'll retear and 50% of people that do will have life long symptoms of incontinence but my midwife is so confident in her skills that she says that the chances I'll get another 3b tear is small, I might get a 2nd degree tear, not a 3rd degree one. Has anyone had a tear with their first and gone either way with the second that could help me out?? Thank you!!!

After birth midwife visits

Just wondering if this is a new thing across the board or not, mine and babies day 5 midwife visit I’m being told is at the hospital where as my first baby they came to the house for all checks. Any one else being sent elsewhere for this?

I’m 5 days post c-section and can barely get off the sofa so I don’t think this is a very practical appointment in regards to major abdominal surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️

Chemical

I think I’m having a chemical. Been lightly spotting since Wednesday, took a test yesterday and it’s positive but I’m still spotting and it’s slightly heavier today. Not heavy but it’s marking a pad. It’s my first pregnancy, have been trying for two years as well. I’m so scared☹️

Elective C-Section booking

Hello everyone!

My due date is 31st December…I’m definitely having a C-Section due to complications with my first labour.

Will my section be booked in exactly a week before (christmas eve), or will they avoid that date due to staff shortages over the holiday season?

Thankyou❤️❤️❤️
