Q: low lying placenta resulting in a possible c-section

I know there could be worse things. However, months ago, I was diagnosed with a low lying placenta. My doctors have scheduled ultrasounds once a month to check if the placenta has move up any. They've postponed the next ultrasound for another 2 weeks out so it is closer to my due date, Oct. 24th. Today, the doctor says it needs to move up another .03 cm to be in the safe zone otherwise having a natural birth could result in hemorraging. That does't sound good either.
Previous one month to the next month looking at ultrasounds, it only moved up some (don't know exactly how much). I know anything is possible both ways.
Can anyone give any positive results and some words of encouragement? please!

I see where you're coming from, medically I want to avoid a C-section as much as possible too. From the sounds of things you don't have too far for that puppy to move before you're safe, and if it's been creeping slowly up, you're probably going to be just fine! God has a way of working those things out.

Just be glad you know about it! Csections are totally fine. I had an undiagnosed placenta pre via that ruptured and my son was born at 34 weeks via emergency csection. Good luck. Hope it moves up!
