Low placenta

JessLB1014

Anyone have experience with this? Went for ultrasound today. I am 11w2d and everything looks good so far but OB said placenta was low. He also said that its common this early on and only a concern if it is low at 20 week ultrasound.

Yup. Had it with DD was on pelvic rest for a bit but as your uterus expands it can move up.

Thanks @Mommyxtwo1113 Did you have it at 20 weeks?

It had moved up by around 22 weeks which is when I had my a/s with her.

Thanks, ladies!!! Praying that its corrected by 20 weeks!

It's pretty common with IVF pregnancies so my MW warned me it could be a concern. That said, it's not a big deal unless you're 35+ weeks and it's still low - it can still move even that late, but chances are you'd have a c/s scheduled and more monitoring - it's easier to schedule the c/s and cancel it later than it is to have an emergency one.. Sending placenta-moving vibes your way!

Mine was low as well.  They told me the same thing: "don't worry about it because it will probably move as the baby grows."  They were right.
