My doctor mentioned my placenta position at my last scan, and I'm a bit concerned. Can the placenta actually change its location as the pregnancy progresses? I'm hoping it moves to a better spot.
Yes, it definitely can move! My MIL was saying that in their times they didn't even have scans to check all this and everything was fine. She told me to just avoid heavy lifting and rest, and true enough, by the next scan it had shifted up.
Suno, extra tension mat lo, it's very normal for placenta to move up. Just don't do any heavy bending or lift heavy water buckets. Rest well and let the doctor check it in the next scan.
It is very common for the placenta position to change as your pregnancy progresses. I had a low placenta during my IVF journey and was so anxious. But with proper rest and doctor's guidance, it shifted safely by week 32.
Oh I totally panicked when my doc said low lying placenta in the 5th month! I was literally on Google all day crying. But trust me, as the uterus grows, it almost always moves up on its own by the 8th month, so please don't stress.
Haan, placenta migration is very common as the baby grows. The uterus expands upwards, pulling the placenta along with it. Just follow your gynac's advice, avoid heavy household chores, and everything will be fine.
Actually my doctor told me in my 20-week scan that my placenta is slightly low. I am so scared and constantly tracking if I feel any pain. Has anyone else gone through this and did it move up later on?
