Posterior placenta
I’ve recently been told that in this pregnancy (my second), I have a posterior placenta that’s currently covering my cervix. If it doesn’t move by my 32-week scan in a few weeks, I’ll need to have a planned C-section.
To be honest, I’m feeling quite anxious about it. I had a natural birth with my first, so a C-section was never really something I imagined for myself. Has anyone been through something similar? I’d love to hear your experiences and hopefully get a bit of reassurance to put my mind at ease💛

90% of the time, they move out of the way by 32 weeks ☺️ mine did x
I’m the exact same I have to have a scan in October to check if it’s moved
Hey I had an anterior placenta that covered my cervix mine actually didn’t end up moving and I ended up with placenta previa🥲 but you’ll have a scan at 32 weeks then possibly another near 36 weeks they will give as much time as possible for it to move. It’s really rare that they don’t move! I ended up having two hospital stays and bleeds due to my placenta which was scary that the time but it is also extremely common when they fully cover the cervix I had an emergency c section due to my last bleed and honestly it wasn’t a bad experience at all and the recovery wasn’t as bad as I expected it would be ☺️it can be worrying and social media and Google can make it seem a lot more daunting most c sections with placentas covering the cervix will be around 37/38weeks x
mine was also the same and had moved out of the way by the time i was about 32 weeks! X
