I am 9 weeks with my second pregnancy, first was a c-section. I went to the doctor yesterday with a fear of a MC as I had been spotting for 4 days (5 days now). They did and U/S and found a heartbeat of 161 bpm and the baby was moving. After talking to the doctor she told me I had placenta previa but there's still a chance it could resolve on it's own. She explained that the placenta could be laying on my cervix and causing the bleeding. That was it, no other instructions except no sex and take it easy. Everything I am reading is it's unlikely they would diagnose that so early it's usually around the 18-20th week. Today I am passing small clots and the bleeding has picked up slightly. I'm scared and wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Re: Placenta Previa small clots/spotting
also ETA: my “no way would the have dx it” comment wasn’t @ you. I meant no way would my dr have dx mine that early.

If you scroll to the top of the board there is a pinned topic entitled, "Read this First!- Board Organization and Rules". It explains how everything is organized.
As for your question- I had placenta previa with my first that was diagnosed at the anatomy scan. I had another check to see if it had moved around 32 weeks. It had not. I had another appointment at 36 weeks and by then it had moved. If it hadn't moved by that appointment I would have been scheduled at 37 weeks for a csection. Everything I read and was told was that they almost always resolve themselves.
Good luck and I look forward to getting to know you!
