Anterior Placenta Previa

At my 22 week ultrasound it was found that I have anterior placenta previa. Anyone have any information on this issue? Did you have this at your ultrasound and did the placenta move? I can't seem to find any information on this. Also, I am supposed to have a c-section because my first child was a c-section. Anyone with info about anterior previa and a c-section? I guess I am looking for any and all information!! Thank you!!

Hmmmm...I had anterior placenta previa diagnosed around 12 weeks, and it moved by, oh, I think it was around 25 weeks. So, it wasn't an issue at my 39 week Csection. Good luck!

I had this with both of my children. Dr. said by 25 weeks, most move. Mine did move in time. I had natural birth for both, so I can't tell you about the c-section part. My sister said she had it with her first and had a c-section because he was breech. Hers also moved by 25 weeks. I would wait for your next ultrasound, you might be worrying for nothing!

I had marginal placenta previa w/ my second, and my first had also been a c section. I think mine moved (that was 10 years ago) but I chose to have a c section anyway. Previous c sections can sometimes cause the placenta previa. Good Luck

You can have a vaginal birth after a c-section (v-back). I did & I know many others that did also. If the placenta does not move than you will need to do the c-section. If it does move than you can do a v-back.

Birthlink can provide you with additional resources at www.birthlink.com
I'd suggesting consulting with JoAnn Lindberg about your question about having a vaginal birth after C-section as she has been providing birthing resources for many years.
There are support groups for moms asking about vaginal birth after C-section. The primary thing is to work with your support team on having healthy you and healthy baby.

Mine ended up moving close to the end of my pregnancy. I did spot through the whole pregnancy though.

mine ended up moving for the better by my 28 week ultrasound

Hi S.,
I had this condition with my third child. Was told to stay off my feet whenever I can and just take it easy, In week 28 I had a major bleeding, but the baby was OK, my doctor put me on a bad rest. And I am so glad that he did, my placenta did move, my delivery was natural, perfect delivery. East well, stay hydrated and most of all stay off your feet.
Good Luck,
D.
