Hi there - I also had a low lyer with my last pg and like you had my heart set on hb. Placenta hadn't moved enough at 32 wk scan but had by 36 wks so hb was off then on! Had Cameron at home at 40+4 - no problems! Hope all works out for you - there is nothing you can do to change things so try and enjoy the next weeks rather than worry - easier said than done I know! Good luck hun and I'll keep my fingers crossed you get your hb!

hi im 20 weeks today.so go another 16 weeks to wait and see what the placenta is like and also how big my little girl is

Hi,

I also have a Low Lying Placenta and know exactly how you feel, I was told this at the 20 week scan and despite being told not to worry, it's natural that you will - I am. 

I don't have my heart set on a home birth but I hate the idea of a C section.  I am 26 weeks now with my first baby and hoping for a natural birth, so really hope that at the 32 week scan I might get some good news, but can't help worrying about every twinge I feel until then, as worrying it wil develop into Placenta Praevia.

I hope you get the home birth you want but as people keep saying to me, a healthy baby and a healthy safe you is much more important so we must trust the consultants opinion on this one!

Let us know what happens x

hi hun.....mine was low till the last scan b4 they booked a c-section at 36 wks(but they said it normally moves b4 then) i really didnt want 1,was so happy, hope all works out 4 u n u get the birth u want xxxxx

I had a scan at 32 weeks to check my placenta had moved up and it had.  It didn't really matter as I am having a section in 2 weeks.  Most placentas move up so there is nothing to worry about.

hi im 20 weeks tomorow.i just really dont want to go in to hospital to have my little girl but also i want a safe and healthy baby.i had a low lying placnta with my 2nd child but that moved on its own but that was like 6years ago.

I had this in my last pregnancy & it moved up itself, it is quite common so I wouldn't worry about it as they usually move themselves xx

Sorry ive just re read and noticed your not 36wk like i 1st thought!!!! Sorry

How many wk are you?

At my 12wk scan i was told i had low lying placenta but they said its far too early to make any decisions, my 20wk scan is coming up and again it will be looked at, i was told if its still low lying i will be scanned again and then at 36-38wk ill have an internal scan with camera inserted to determine exact position of placenta

One midwife told me they can move but another midwife said they dont move as are attached and it just depends which way it grows-further down blocking plug or up away from plug

Not sure ive really helped you just blurted out what i know!!! Obviously you're much further on and hope all goes well and the decision is what you want.

wondered if anyone has got this as my midwife said if its still like this at 36 weeks then my homebirth is out the window.anyone know if there is anything i can do to move it lol
