When did you discover it? Did it resolve? Were you able to deliver naturally or did you have to have a c-section because of it? Or did you not know until you were in labor?
I didn't find out until my anatomy scan and as of 27 weeks it still hadn't resolved...they're giving me until my next scan in 4 weeks, otherwise c-section it is. I haven't thought about this much but was wondering if it happens to people!

I had been spotting ever since about 4 weeks, which my doctor wrote off as implantation bleeding, but by 11 weeks she did an ultrasound and found that it was low-lying. So I did a follow-up ultrasound at 13 weeks with the specialist, and another follow-up at 18 weeks, and by then it had resolved.

My SIL had partial placenta previa with her 3 rd. It didn't completely move so she had a c section. She had to have it early so that baby didn't drop. Baby was delivered at 35 weeks.

I found out about mine at about 21 weeks at my anatomy scan. My next scan was at 28 weeks and it had resolved by then so I was able to deliver naturally but I think my doctor was going to give it about the same time frame (until about 32 weeks) before saying I would need a C-section. Mine wasn't too far off from being where it needed to be at 21 weeks though. I hope yours resolves by your next scan!

We found out about mine at 20 weeks and the doc was convinced that it wouldn't move (something about how the cord was attached) so we were definitely thinking c-section at about 38 weeks. But, I was having growth scans every 4 weeks and at 34 weeks we found out it had moved enough for a vaginal delivery at 38 weeks! Wow, did I have to wrap my mind around that! We had cancelled our birth class and didn't have time to reschedule - oops. So you definitely still have time for it to resolve. Since the baby grows so much at the end things can still shift around especially if it isn't complete previa just low-laying.

I found out when I had first trimester bleeding that my placenta was low lying/partial previa. It was still low lying at my anatomy scan (22 weeks) so they are ordering another scan for 31 weeks to double check. I hope yours resolves soon!!

I found out about mine at the appointment the month after my anatomy scan. It cleared by my follow-up scan at 28 weeks. I can't remember exactly, but I think my doctor said it wouldn't be an automatic C, depending on just how low it was. But she also wasn't concerned about whether or not it would clear, obviously since it wasn't mentioned when it was found.

Mine was low-lying at 20 weeks, but it moved up and I was able to have a vaginal birth.

Mine was found at 20 weeks but was very minor. Like it was 1.6 (whatever measurement they use) from my cervix and they like it to be 2. I had a second scan at 32 weeks and it had resolved itself by a large margin.
I did have a c section, but it wasn't related to my placenta.

Mine was found at 11 weeks but cleared by 13. I was told it usually resolves itself, and it did.

I had one at 13 weeks which resolved by 20 weeks. Hope yours resolves too!!!

Mine was low lying around 7 months. The doctor said no sex for a month and they would reevaluate, but a c-section could be possible. By 8 months it had moved and I had no complications and a normal vaginal birth.

I had a marginal previa, and they didn't detect it until 24 weeks. It resolved in my third trimester, I believe. They weren't too concerned because it was so borderline... they were pretty confident it would resolve, and it did.
