It's a boy!!! and...

in 2nd Trimester
I just went today for my anatomy scan and it's a BOY!!!  We are over the moon with excitement!  We got some great shots even though he was very active!  The anatomy scan went great... until the technician said the doctor wanted to do a vaginal ultrasound to check my placenta.  The doctor determined that I have marginal placenta previa.  He said only a tiny portion of the placenta is at the border of the cervix and he anticipates that it will move up as the uterus grows and won't cause a problem.  He said on a scale of 1 through 10, it is a 0.5 which made me feel better. But of course, I googled it and did research on it and it scares me a little bit.  Obviously, I am concerned.  I don't want this to complicate my pregnancy or put myself or my precious baby boy at risk.  I'm a little worried and scared. Does anyone have any experience with this ...and can give me some positive/encouraging words to calm my nerves a little bit?

    Step away from google lol! I have no experience with it, but if your Dr isn't worried about it I would trust them and try not to worry about it much either. A lot easier said than done I know. 

    Congrats on being team blue! :D

    We found out today we are having a boy and my Placenta is low too. They say though that 90% of the time it moves by 4-6 weeks from now so they will send me in for a scan then. Even if it didn't they didn't seem overly concerned especially since I haven't had any bleeding so far.

    I agree with this.

    I am having a girl.  I have a low placenta.  I will be going to another appointment to see where the placenta is.  At most, they said that it may just mean that I will need to have a C-section.  And my obgyn was not concerned since I have not been bleeding.

    I have stories both good and bad for this. If it was .5 on a 10pt scale I would go with the everything is going to be alright. Everyone I know who had a serious problem  had a much worse prognosis from the DR at this point.

    I have been told every u/s (I have to go every other week) that my placenta is low but even at my 20 week the MFM doctor told me that it is too early to diagnose as placenta previa.  He said there is plenty of time for it to move up and not to start freaking out. :)  Try and stay off of google!!!!
