And then by 40 weeks it moved a teeny bit more- enough for her VBAC attempt. She laboured for 20 hours, pushed for 3 and had her baby:) Her placenta plopped into a bowl beneath her about 10 mins after the birth:) No issues whatsoever.
You should know that anterior placentas move slower up the uterine wall than posterior ones plus they tend to move much more near the end of the pregnancy. To be freaking you out this early...it's not good for you:( They shouldn't even be looking for accreta as it tends to not show up even with an MRI unless it's very bad(which is VERY rare). They should monitor movement but not until your uterus is filled with baby-beyond 35w. Try not to worry so much. Many women gave anterior placentas over top of scars and they don't have a single problem.
The one thing to try is visualization of the placenta- imagine it moving up the uterus:) Plus there's a homeopathic for it as well- I'll see if I can find the name. Do not take vitamin e- it's causes sticky placenta.
Big hugs to you~ I'm sure that your placenta will move and everything will be fine:) xo
