Low lying placenta?!?
SO my placenta is at 0.8cm and needs to be at 2.4 cm away from my cervix. I am 21 weeks and one day. There's a 90% chance that this will stretch out away from my cervix but so far hasn't moved since I was 14weeks!! Ahh! anyone else go through this? I really don't want a c-section.
Good to hear. I don't know why i'd rather go through the pain of a natural labor than a csection.

It's only been 7 weeks so I wouldn't worry too much. Low lying placenta USUALLY moves by the time you're ready to deliver. I've seen patients with placenta previa (when the placenta covers the cervix) have it for most of their pregnancy only to have it move just a couple weeks before their due date.

You've still got plenty of time for it to move up. Most cases of low-lying placenta and previa's correct themselves by the third trimester. If it doesn't, you might eventually have to go on bed rest ,especially if you have any bleeding. If it stays low, the only safe way to deliver is c-section so you'll have to try to just go with the flow. I had to have two myself and it honestly isn't that bad.

I went through this with my daughter. I had my ultrasound at 19 weeks and they told me that they would repeat the ultrasound at 27 weeks to see if there were any changes. My doctor told me most likely it would correct itself by the appointment at 27 weeks, and she was right. I ended up having a normal delivery.
