Found out my anatomy scan showed a full placenta previa. I've been put on pelvic rest and limited exercise/lifting. I will have a scan in the third trimester to see if it's moved, and if it doesn't, they will schedule a C-section. Anyone else have a full previa? What was your pregnancy like? Did it move? I had a vaginal birth with my first and am a bit nervous about such a different experience!

I have complete previa that was detected at a 18 week scan. It was confirmed at my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. My Drs thought it might move before the 3rd tri but mine has not budged
(I had two prior csections so it is prob sticking like glue) I went to appointments every 2 weeks and had frequent ultrasounds with a perinatologist. My pregnancy was mostly normal (my Dr told us to abstain from sex in the 3rd tri and avoid heavy exercise) until I was hospitalized for bleeding at 35 weeks and I am on bed rest until I deliver next week at 36 weeks. I had to sign my consent forms today and I was reminded that I have a high % chance of major blood loss and hysterectomy. Good luck! My dr. says most previas for women without prior csections usually move before 30 weeks. FX for you!

@autumnlove: oh goodness!! So sorry about the bedrest a show scary to sign those papers. Prayers that everything goes as uneventfully as possibly and congratulations on #3!

I had previa (not sure of the extent, I'm afraid) and it moved by 31 weeks. I had a c-section with my first and ended up with one for this pregnancy regardless.

I had a complete previa diagnosed at 20 weeks during my anatomy scan and I was put on pelvic rest and all that until my 28 week scan. We were so worried, but it moved a whopping 12cm! My doctor said he'd never seen such a thing and ordered all my radiology reports and footage to look over it again just to make sure I wasn't misdiagnosed, but nope, it really moved that much! I spent months thinking I was going to have a C-section at 36/37 weeks and instead it cleared. Still ended up with a C-section at 39 weeks though - my water broke with no contractions and my 36 hour induction failed!
