Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2577104 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 15:22:46 +0000 Alba4 2577104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Final update: my complete previa moved completely away from my cervix by 35 weeks and I had a vaginal birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2516706 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 06:37:46 +0000 Alba4 2516706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: I had my 28 week appointment/exam and my complete previa moved to a marginal previa. I'm hoping it will continue to move so I can be cleared for a vaginal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2419714 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 07:51:45 +0000 Alba4 2419714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) What kind did you have (complete, partial, marginal)?<br /> Just was diagnosed with a complete previa at 16 weeks.</p> <p>2) If you were on pelvic rest, what all did that include/what restrictions did you have?<br /> Due to having 2 bleeding episodes already, I'm on modified bed rest, pelvic rest, and I'm taking a medical leave from my teaching job. I'm not allowed any heavy lifting, no sex, no standing for more than an hour. This is lovely news considering I have an almost 2.5 year old.</p> <p>3) Did it resolve itself? If so, when?<br /> We'll see! My doctor said complete previas are less likely to move, but I hoping for a miracle! Otherwise I'll have a C-section at 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2351640 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 21:37:00 +0000 BelugaBean 2351640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a low lying placenta at around 21 weeks that had resolved itself by 29. I never had any issues or restrictions because of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2351632 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 21:25:33 +0000 maybebaby 2351632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should note that I have had no bleeding at all, not even spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2351624 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 21:20:55 +0000 maybebaby 2351624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out at 20 weeks that I had a complete previa. I was put on pelvic rest (no sexual intercourse, no heavy lifting or intense exercise). They di a transvaginal u/s at 28 weeks and it had not moved. by 32 weeks it had moved to partial previa, and pelvic rest order lifted, but not cleared for vaginal delivery I will be 36 weeks tomorrow and have another scan Thurs to see if things have moved. So hoping them have; if not I will have a C/S at 39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349543 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 16:04:14 +0000 Alivoo01 2349543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I wonder why the abdominal u/s didn't pick it up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349471 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:31:04 +0000 LAZB 2349471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) What kind did you have (complete, partial, marginal)?<br /> I had partial<br /> 2) If you were on pelvic rest, what all did that include/what restrictions did you have?<br /> I didn't have to stay on bed rest<br /> 3) Did it resolve itself?

I should add though, make sure you get them to check via TV u/s because until 35 weeks they didn't, and when they finally did it had resolved. I do wonder if it had resolved much sooner than that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349418 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:14:26 +0000 Alivoo01 2349418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: 35 weeks?! oh man!! I was diagnosed at 18 weeks so 35 weeks is like eternity. lol. I mean, I'm glad it resolved itself, but man... Talk about suspense until the very end!</p> <p>@mauxie: Mine is currently &lt;2cm. I should ask if as long as I have at least a 2cm clearance at time of delivery if it's okay...</p> <p>@winniebee: 28 weeks. I like the sound of that better than SSLM's 35 week. lol. I know everyone's different, but I'd definitely feel better if it resolved itself the sooner rather than later.</p> <p>@gingerbebe: OMG!! I have a vacation scheduled to Costa Rica at the beginning of December. I'll need to make sure I tell my OB at my appt next week to obtain clearance. That would suck if I have to cancel bc I'm not sure I can... Ahhhh!!!!! I've had previous losses too so now I'm nervous. Maybe (fingers crossed I'm lucky), it might have resolved by my appt next week and all is well???? I'll be 23 weeks next week.</p> <p>@GreenThumb: That's awesome your complete previa moved!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349394 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:57:21 +0000 GreenThumb 2349394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had complete previa found at 20 weeks. I was on total pelvic rest described above and was told to expect a c-section at 39 weeks. Monthly U/S showed that it moved by 34 weeks (it got a little better with each scan) and I was cleared for vaginal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349383 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:53:30 +0000 gingerbebe 2349383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a complete previa. I was on total pelvic rest until my 28 week scan (no sex, stimulation, very light workouts, no lifting over 10 pounds). If I bled before 25 weeks my dr was going to put me on total bed rest and if after 25 weeks hospitalized until delivery and was told not to go anywhere outside the county. In fact my doctor wanted me 15 minutes away from a hospital at all times. But he was super careful because we had previous losses and he knew I was freaked out. It moved by the 28 week scan and I was cleared for normal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349357 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:40:31 +0000 Golden 2349357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a partial with my first, but they checked it with transvaginal ultrasounds and it totally resolved by 32 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349344 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:32:41 +0000 winniebee 2349344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a low lying placenta at my 20 week ultrasound...I was just supposed to call if I had any bleeding. By 28 weeks it had resolved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349339 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:30:02 +0000 mauxie 2349339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told I had it at my 12 wk appt but don't know if it's marginal or partial (definitely not complete). I probably should find out... </p> <p>I've had my 20 week and it's still too low, so I have another ultrasound scheduled at 32 weeks to check... I haven't been told to go on pelvic rest though, and have not had any spotting.</p> <p>My OB says as long as I have 2cm clearance from my cervix, I don't have to schedule a c-section. Keeping my fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349331 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:26:38 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2349331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I technically had a diagnosis at my 12-week ultrasound, but they didn't put me on pelvic rest and they didn't tell me if it was complete, partial, or marginal. By my 20-week ultrasound, it had completely resolved itself and I have no restrictions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349285 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:04:47 +0000 autumnlove 2349285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a complete that never resolved. It started bleeding at 35 weeks and I was on bed rest until my doctors decided to do a RCS at 36 weeks. I had a delivery in a high risk setting and they had to cut through my placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349237 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:41:43 +0000 sslm 2349237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I had a low-lying placenta (I think it was considered marginal?) and was not on pelvic rest except for a couple of weeks following a little bit of spotting. I periodically went for u/s until FINALLY at 35 weeks it had resolved itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-placenta-previas#post-2349231 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:39:53 +0000 Alivoo01 2349231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a placenta previa,</p> <p>1) What kind did you have (complete, partial, marginal)?<br /> 2) If you were on pelvic rest, what all did that include/what restrictions did you have?<br /> 3) Did it resolve itself?
