Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: low placenta

[Judy Chapman]

Katrina,

I have never heard of a way of making the placenta move. Chances are that with only 0.5 cm to move that it will by ok by the next few weeks.

Cared for a woman who had a bleed at 25 wks and it was from placenta praevia. Kept in hospital resting and for observation. Had minor bleeds over the next 8-10 weeks, not enough to deliver the baby. Placenta moved away from os, bleeding setteled, she went home and had a normal birth post term.

Hope all goes well for the woman

Cheers

Judy

hi,
i am a birth attendant & have been supporting a woman who has a low lying
placenta. she is 28 weeks & the placenta apparently has half a cm to move.
she had a bleed last week but is fine now & looking to check at 32 weeks.
is there any way she can encourage her placenta to move?
at what point can it be determined that she should definitely have a CS?
can
she continue to have scans until say 38 weeks to see if it moves?
she has been told not to have sex as the pressure could cause problems?
she has been told not to exercise either.

any suggestions would be appreciated
