A member asked:
Can placenta previa move closer to rather than away from cervix over time? i had low-lying placenta @14w, marginal previa@20w, partial previa@28w?

Placenta: does!not move but what to do about it depends on how close it is to the cervix. Report bleeding right away

Synonyms: Low lying/ Marginal and partial previa are all basically synonyms describing the same thing -- the placenta is partially or close to obstructing the pathway of the baby out of the cervix. The placenta does not actually move but rather the uterus gets bigger and previas may no longer be present at later gestation. Typically serial ultrasounds are done to monitor for this.
