Moving Placenta?
Anyone have experience with their placenta moving up? Right now (just about 31 weeks, though he's measuring at about 32 weeks) my placenta is still 1.6 cm away from my cervix and they said the minimum they want for me to be allowed to delivery vaginally is 2cm. Baby boy is perfectly in position to, his head is literally right on top of my cervix. Has anyone had experience where their placenta moved more and they were able to delivery vaginally? I go back in 3 weeks to check it. Otherwise baby boy is looking perfect... He was VERY angry that he was being poked and prodded again.

Moving Placenta?
It doesn't really move ... it's always attached to the same spot in your uterus - but as your uterus grows and expands, the placenta moves away from the cervix.
So your answer is that it really depend on how much your uterus grows in the next 8 weeks ...
FWIW - with my first, I had a low-lying placenta at 16 weeks and by 20 it was at a normal location.

Yeah, I had previa at 12 weeks, by 21 weeks it was "just low", now at 31 it's still low, it only needs to get 0.4 cm away from where it is now... here's to hoping....

No experience but I hope it works out in the end. It would definitely stink to end up with a csection over a couple tenths of a cm.

That's just it... it's literally 4mm this little thing needs to move, I'm hoping that they will let me wait as long as possible before making the final decision. If it ends up being a c-section then so be it, whatever it takes to get this little guy here safe and sound, but this is my first and as weird as it may sound but I've been so looking forward to child birth.

Re: Moving Placenta?
Mine was low initially but had moved by my 20 week ultrasound and the OB thought it would continue to move out of the way as the uterus expanded(that was the last U/S I had till my vaginal delivery @ 41 weeks)

Mine was low at my 28 week appt. Moved up by about 33-34 weeks so yes it's still possible. Delivered dd vaginally at 40 weeks.

Woohoo!! Yours is the closest timeframe to mine, phew! I'm hoping and wishing and praying to be able to deliver vaginally!

I had the same problem. Mine did not move. But everyone I know that had it moved.

I had previa till 20 weeks, then low lying up until 36 weeks. At 37 weeks it was my last checkup and I was supposed to schedule a c-section.. It was moved enough. I delivered vaginally (a week late)

Woohoo! These are the stories I want to hear! The doc said she was being conservative when she said it was 1.6 cm from the cervix, and she was very optimistic that it will move... I'm keeping my fingers crossed, I really want to deliver vaginally for my first!

My previa resolved by my 36 wk appt. I had the c section planned and everything, but I wound up delivering vaginally at 41 wks.
