Question 1

what does high lying posterior placenta grade 1 means?

Accepted Answer

It is in a good spot: The high lying placenta on the back wall of your uterus is in a good spot to avoid bleeding at the time of labor. or before.

Question 2

are the chances high of a reoccurant placenta abruption after having one at 32 weeks which resulted in stillbirth?dr's have said it looked like a fluk

Accepted Answer

Recurrence rate: The most recent literature is putting recurrence rate between 5-15%. The risk is even higher if the initial abruption was considered to be severe. When the abruption is severe enough to kill the fetus, as in your case, there is a 7% incidence of the same outcome in a future pregnancy, unfortunately. There aren't any studies that demonstrate interventions lower the risk. I wish you the best.

Question 3

i just had my ultrasound at 17weeks and it says i have anterior low lying placenta grade 1. how can may placenta to normal position??

Accepted Answer

No worries: No worries. You are very early in the pregnancy. More than likely, it will resolve by 28th week ultrasound. You cannot do anything to help in that migration.

Question 4

is having a marginal previa/low-lying placenta considered high risk?

Accepted Answer

Marginal previa: A marginal previa or a low lying placenta is usually diagnosed by ultrasound. Early in a pregnancy ultrasound can over diagnose the condition. Risk will depend upon whether you have had any bleeding with the diagnosis. A 28 week ultrasound is usually recommended to better visualize where the placenta actually is.

Question 5

if a placenta was low lying during one pregnancy does it mean it will be low lying again for the next?

Accepted Answer

No.: Placentation is not predictable and does not correlate with prior pregnancies, with the exception of placenta previa +/- accreta, which tends to recur. Your 20 week sonogram will establish placentation with great accuracy. Good luck!

Question 6

what does posterior placenta grade 2 high lying with visualization  of sublacental sonolucency mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal attachment: :Your placenta is attached to the back wall of the uterus and is high enough inside the uterus to not be of concern for a "low lying" placenta that can bleed. This is all normal.

Question 7

biparietal diameter of 2.4cm. fetal heart is 154b/min. placenta is anterior. high-lying. is it normal for 14weeks and 1 day pregnancy..? thank you...

Accepted Answer

Yes: I get 13.3 weeks for 2.4 cm BPD(see image).  This is normal.  

The location of the placenta is only a concern if it covers the cervical opening.  Your OB would want to know that it is anterior if a C-section is needed so he should be careful at the time of operation.  

The heart rate is normal.

Question 8

good day.
im ony 36 weeks and 6 days, what does lateral placenta with posterior component, grade 3, high lying means?

Accepted Answer

U/S findings: The physical location of your placenta inside your uterus.  It is lateral (towards one side, left or right); on the posterior (back, nearer your spinal column, as opposed to your abdomen); Grade 3 high lying (??).  The good thing is that the placenta is not covering the cervical opening (or Os). You should be talking to your OB about these things! Talk with him/her if you don't understand!

Question 9

can i have normal delivery if i hve posterior placenta grade 2 high lying 3.7cm away from the os..i am 33weeks and 5days pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Placental location: From what you are stating your placental location would not exclude you from a vaginal delivery. If your doctor has told you differently then there may be other reasons. Check with your Obgyn for further guidance.

Question 10

is it safe to fly if diagnosed with low lying placenta if one has had cramping and mild spotting in second trimester (15 weeks)?

Accepted Answer

It is safe: To fly up until 35 completed weeks.  I'm not sure if it's wise unless u talk to your doc.  What if you start bleeding badly on the plane or out of town?  Guage it with your doc but there is nothing about flying that will make it worse.
