Low lying placenta (27 weeks)

I had an Us at 20 weeks and they said they said placenta was low and recheck again. I had an Us today at 27 weeks and it has n't moved. Has any anyone ever had a placenta move up this late in the game ? I am so worried.

Mine completely covered my cervix at 20 weeks, not partial, completely, and i had a check up scan at 32 weeks and it had moved. My hosp said they wont recheck before 30 weeks when your biggest amount of growing is over. Good luck with it moving.

Yes I had placenta Previa at 18-30 weeks and I'm at 38 weeks with resolved placenta Previa.  Good luck and don't worry you'll stress your body and baby.

I haven't had that problem and not sure about it moving up, but I wanted to let you know that your baby has passed the stage of viability. So if he or she is born they have a very high chance of survival and a much lower rate of developmental problems. Just keep thinking positively and the longer you can keep that baby in the better his or her chances are, so try not to worry mama :)
