It's a positive that it's moved some!!! I hope that it moves completely so you don't have to worry about it. :)

ah well thanks for posting! :-) Ya worst case scenerio I have to be put on bed rest and you have a really high chance of premature birth and a definite c-section....so hopefully not! Mine was complete but it's moved a little. still on lockdown but my Dr. is really positive it'll move to where it needs to be.

I can't say I've ever had it, but I didn't want your question to be ignored. I only had a low lying placenta, which is similar but not quite. Did your doctors say if yours was partial or full? Depending on the severity, it's doubtful you have anything to worry about. In cases of a partial it will usually move by the time you deliver, but a very small percentage won't. If it doesn't or you have a complete previa you would need a c-section since baby couldn't be born naturally. Other things you might experience (if I remember correctly) are bleeding/spotting, and cramping.
