thank you all so much! I'm just sooo worried.  I do feel her moving a lot, I hope that's a good thing. I had a DNC in November so I'm thinking that's why my uterus isnt holding up my placenta like it should.  Kerry88 Iwish you luck on the 11th and just know if it moves up, you can have a VBAC!:)

I was told around 18 weeks mine was low. By 24 weeks it had moved.

Mine was out of the way by 32 weeks. If it helps, my doctor told me about a patient who insisted on a final check before her scheduled csection. She was right. Her placenta moved at 39 weeks. So there's always a chance. :)

I had a low placenta at 20 weeks. At 35 weeks it had moved right the way up and was clear of the lower part. Most move up naturally

Hi, i am 20 weeks. I have been told that my placenta is low & is in front of the baby, so I feel very little movement even though baby is fine & dandy! (So a constant worry) I had a c-section with my first & my doctor told me that this is probably the reason why my placenta is positioned the way it is now (placentas like scar tissue, apparently) I go back on 11th to see where placenta is but they have told me that it is likely I will be having another c-section, but that could also be in connection with my previous pregnancy. Hope this helps in some way? Good luck :)
