Q: Any of you ladies ever been diagnosed with marginal previa & if so what was the end result??

My placenta was noticed at the bottom of the baby instead of the top at my 22 wk ultrasound ( my 2nd ultrasound) they had me come back in at 26 weeks & no change...so now I have to come back in 6 wks which will put me at 32 wks to see if it moves up any. At the moment my placenta is about 1cm to the side of my cervix & the doctor wants it about 2-3cm for it to be safe enough to deliver vaginally...I don't want to have a c-section but at this point thats what it looks like :(

I was told the same thing at my 20 week scan. I had another scan at 32 weeks and everything was fine. I'm now on course for a normal delivery in just under 4 weeks time.
Your uterus will strech som much between now and 32 weeks that the placenta could be pulled up with it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I'm in the same situation. At 18 weeks my placenta was "low-lying" and needs to move 2 cm in order for me to have a vaginal delivery. I'm 21 weeks now, and will go in January to see if it has moved, I'm so upset, I don't want a c-section...I hope yours moves !
