Now that I am 13 weeks pregnant, my ultrasound report shows a low-lying placenta previa. Is this condition normal? Can you provide me with some guidance and assistance?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

A low-lying placenta previa is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix during pregnancy. At 13 weeks, it is not uncommon for the placenta to be low-lying as it has time to migrate upwards as the pregnancy progresses. However, it is important to monitor this condition closely as it can pose risks such as bleeding during pregnancy or complications during delivery. Your healthcare provider will continue to monitor your situation through regular ultrasounds to determine if the placenta moves away from the cervix naturally. In most cases, the placenta does move up on its own by the third trimester. However, if it remains low-lying later in pregnancy, your doctor may recommend certain precautions like avoiding strenuous activities or sexual intercourse. If necessary, a cesarean section may be planned for delivery to avoid any potential complications. It's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's advice and attend all scheduled appointments for proper monitoring and management of this condition. Remember, every case is unique, so consult with your doctor for personalized guidance and support throughout your pregnancy journey.

Hello there ,

I had placenta accreta. I also had another case called Pprom.  Having them together I had to have an early delivery, and that led to me losing my baby.

Concerning low lying placenta ( medically known as Placenta accreta), you have to have a c section delivery, and make sure they have lots of your blood type because you might bleed during the delivery. You also have to rest now before your delivery. 

Best of luck
