Placenta Previa

I had it this pregnancy. It was only partial. Please know that vaginal exams should be refused by you because they can disrupt the placenta. If you go to the er again they may not already know not to do one. Also, please know that many woman carry to term even with previa.

Is yours partial or full previa? Partial will normally resolve but full is more likely to end with a c-section.

Good luck

 I don't know yet if partial or full...How far along were/are you? I'm 12 weeks 5 days. I thought it was weird they said NO plevic activty yet they did a vaginal. The baby was moving all over the place very restless. If its a girl she's one tough cookie like her momma. :)

I was 12 weeks and by my next ultrasound it was resolved. That was at 18 weeks for my anatomy scan. That's strange that they didn't tell you what type of previa!! There are three "kinds" or levels. Marginal, which means three placenta is right next to the cervix. Partial, which... Obviously. And full which is also self explanatory. I hope that you have one of the lesser degrees that tend to resolve on their own.
There is still hope!

I have full previa....Im almost 23 weeks. It has plenty of time to move but if it doesnt, I will have a c-section at 35-36 weeks (Or at least be hospitalized early as I have a history of pre-term labor). They will re-check at 32 weeks.

Its nerve racking believe me....I posted on here as soon as I found out. But its completely manageable when caught early :)

 Thank you I have hope. I will do whatever it takes.

I had it.  It was during my first pregnancy -- first trimester.  

As the baby grew, the placenta moved up and the previa went away. 

I had partial covering with dd and it moved by 30ish weeks. Just take it easy :)

I don't have previa but I have low lying placenta. Found it at 18 weeks. No penetration until 30 weeks when I have another u/s (which is in 3 weeks) and go from there. Dr said a lot of times this stuff works itself out but listen to your body.
