Placenta

So I went for my 20 week check up today and my placenta is still low but she says it can change over time I'm not worrying because I know god has me. But what does that mean? Why is it like that? I'll have another ultrasound at 30 2eeks.

So my placenta was laying low around the same time as yours. I had since then moved up. The only reason you want to worry is if it doesn't move out of the way you will have to have a c section. And they tell you not to have sex most of the time is because they don't want you to rupture you placenta sack. I should move up as you grow out though. So I would lent worry too much it took mine about six weeks to move

I found out i have partial placental previa (placenta is kind of in front of the cervix) at my 20 week anatomy scan as well. I go back at 32 weeks to check again. Only thing my doctor said was its more than possible for it to move up but if not ill just need a csection.

Not quite sure. I see my doc tomorrow,  i have placental insufficiency so blood flow to the baby isnt great which means lack of vitamins and nutrients and oxygen to baby. I get ultrasounds every week for duration to monitor baby and im only 22 weeks! My point is, sometimes we cant control why our bodies do certain things, they just do. I wouldnt worry but pray. Doc says things can turn around which is great! I pray that things work out in your favor and you deliver a happy healthy baby!
