  • It's when the placenta grows covering your cervix. "placenta first" My mom had that condition with me and they had to do a c-section.
  • I had it with my first, but it corrected itself and I had my son naturally. Im preggo with #2 and have it again. Hoping it corrects itself again so I am not forced to have a csection
  • Oh so it can fix itself?! Yay! I hope mine does so. Is it threatening to the baby??
  • I had that wit my 4th and it corrected itself too.it basically is the placenta covering the cervix so baby can't come out but my dr said most of the time it moves towards the end of preg.if it doesn't u will have to get a c section.good luck
  • Thank you! Great advice.
  • Theres different degrees of it...it could ve complete previa , when placenta is completly covering cervix which they tel u no sex and no heavy lifting, and marginal previa which means.placenta is close to but not totally covering cervix. Ive talkef to many people who said they had it and everysingle one said it moved by the time it was time to deliver!
  • I don't know if you mean two vessel cord insted of three. If you for mean that : I had twi)ns (girls) of April of last year baby a (aaliyah) had a two vessel cord & baby b (Juliana) had three. My doctor said baby a would just be smaller. But that wasn't true because baby b was smaller. I wouldn't stress it. But they ha e you going g in e erh 3 weeks for an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay.
  • Thank you guys, good advice!
    Kaylababy007- first off, sweet name (kayla) that's my name too! Haha but yes that's what I mean, they said it was common but I just didn't know how it would affect things. At my ultrasound they said it only had 2 vessels in its cord. But it seems to be common
  • Hiya i have a low placenta at 34 weeks but i don't really know much about it but i know that you might bleed in later trimester or you don't bleed and things should be ok, i haven't had any bleeding yet so fingers crossed! don't know where about it is so hopefully will find out at 36 weeks x
