Do i need to do anything differently at the moment???
At 34 weeks my placenta was over birth canal (previa) and had imbedded so deeply (accretia). I was put on immed bed rest and was due to go to hosp at 36 weeks for section at 37. However I bled heavily at 35 weeks and had emergency section. She and I were fine. This was my 5th baby but first by section and I felt no difference at all with bonding etc... I was just so relieved that we were both OK.
MOST lo lying placentas do move so I would not worry toomuch. If it doesnt then a section is no where near as bad as I thought it would.
My 3rd was 8 14 and my 4th 9 4 . I also had GTT which was negative. They were going to induce me at 38wks if this baby had been big too. she was doing Ok and at 35 weekd was 5lb 7oz so think she would have been about 8lb. I was told if having the same sex as your last babies then the weight goes up.Had she been a he the weight would prob be in the 10lb range. However she was a she so a little smaller.
good Luck with all these placenta's
