Placenta Previa

Does anyone else have or have had placenta previa? 🥺

If you had it during your pregnancy, did it eventually move out of the way, or did you end up needing a C-section?

I’m currently 29 weeks and 3 days, and unfortunately, mine still hasn’t moved. My doctor said I may end up needing a C-section, and honestly, I’m really scared. 😭 I’m really hoping it moves before delivery because having a C-section is something I’m very afraid of.

I would love to hear from other moms who have been through this. Did your placenta move later in pregnancy? 💕

I had it with my second pregnancy. Thankfully, it was caught early enough to monitor every four weeks. By my third appointment, which I was 31 weeks that day, my placenta had fully moved out of the way. It took about 10 weeks to move and I was HORRIBLY uncomfortable the whole time 😅 my doctor told me the timeframe is usually up to 36 weeks, if I’m remembering correctly, so you’ve still got a little time for it to move as baby grows. Praying it moves for you!!

I’m 32 weeks and going in tomorrow to see if mine has moved 🤞

I had complete previa but moved out at my 28th week.
You still have time until 36th week I guess, they will be monitoring to see if it moved or not.

Do you know how much it needs to move to be in the clear

I had a partial previa, but it moved out of the way by 28 weeks. You still have a bit of time that it can shift, here’s to hoping it does! I understand the fear of a c-section, I was petrified, but I had a great experience with mine.

How is everyone feeling?

I’m feeling so short of breath and knackered now! 😅 I don’t really look forward to going to sleep anymore because I know I’ll be uncomfortable. But near the end, I’m just ready for her to come out now. I still have another 4 weeks!

Second Baby

For any Mum’s on here who had babies in January 2025, and are now either pregnant or have had second babies, when did you/how did you know the time was ‘right’? Since my son has turned 19 months I feel something has changed in me and I feel more open to it!

Gtt test

Anyone who’s had a gtt test, when did you get your results back?

I had mine Wednesday just gone and said they’ll call if I’m positive, or if I’m negative it’ll be in my nhs app. Told me that if I haven’t heard back by next Wednesday then to call them, but I go on holiday that Wednesday. I know chances are if I haven’t heard anything by then I’m more than likely negative

I remember with my last pregnancy I had to call for the results but I also don’t think they told me to wait a week to call ?

Lexapro and pregnancy

hey mamas, did anyone take lexapro while pregnant? my psychiatrist who works with preg women says it’s high studied and safe but then the pharmacist said there may be a small risk and it also says that on the medication info bag (im starting now in 3rd trimester with twins)

Bad Mom Alert!

Don’t get me wrong I love my baby and love the snuggles. However, I think I’m a bad mom, because I’m looking forward to not being in newborn stage anymore. Idk how moms stay home with their babies for 2 months without going stir crazy. I’m sure there is a lot I’ll miss about newborn life. Does this make me a bad mom?
