    Hi Tracey,

    I have been told that my placenta is low lying and that I wll have another scan at 34 weeks. Can you give me a bit of information about this, the lady doing the scan said it was nothing really to worry about but I’d really like to know more.
    Thanks a mill

    hi i’m 20weeks and i have it too. apparently its common for the placenta to start out lying low but most move up as pregnancy progresses. I too will be scanned again around 34weeks to check.
    Was with doc this morning and she did mention not to be worried and that if it doesn’t move she would do a section.

    Hi JMum

    Most of the time it’s not an issue.

    As the lower part of the uterus grows the placenta is moved away from the cervix (the placenta itself doesn’t move 😉

    If you have any concerns do give the hospital a ring.

    Chances are everything will be fine at your next scan !

    Best of luck
