Placenta Previa after 3 natural vaginal births..

[Happymommy1987]

Hi ladies... I just learned today I have total placenta previa.
After 3 natural births this seems so strange... I know its more common when you have had C-sections or are older than 35. I don’t fit into any of those categories...
But anyway... any stories of people that have gone through this??
Ive had heavy bleeding (baby is ok) due to a subchronic hematoma.. on and off for 6 weeks.


Other than that baby girl is doing ok. Measuring a few days more than 16 weeks.

It's not strange, it happens. It's just a matter of where the little bean implanted.

I had it with my 4th pregnancy as well (although I was over 35) and it all ended well but I did have some heavy bleeding in early pregnancy and a bit of spotting later on. I had to be on "pelvic rest" which my husband was not so thrilled about but in the end, the placenta moved a little and I was still able to have a monitored vaginal birth. I did have some hemmorhaging during the birth but was able to avoid a c-section...not sure if they're holding out any hope for that or not. But either way, it's fairly common and many people have had it, then had perfectly healthy babies.

Thanks Atomic,
Yes, I obviously don’t want to put baby at risk or myself but I live giving birth the natural way and have always had an easy recovery.
I guess Ill wait and see what 20 + weeks scans show.
Thanks for sharing... xoxo

Most people I know with PP have been able to have a natural birth in the end. It often does resolve bu 30 weeks or so. Good luck and please keep us posted how you're getting along.

I had placenta previa. Delivered my baby girl via c-section on September 8th. But, I had 2 previous c sections so I would’ve delivered that way anyways.
