Hi Everyone! I am 21 weeks and at my last US the Dr. told me that I have a partial previa with the placenta. Everything else looks normal. I have never had one before and he said the majority of them shift correctly before birth. I am 37 but don't know if that has anything to do with it. Have any of you experienced this as too and did any of them turn to full previas? I have been feeling great and have no signs of anything with bleeding, etc. but I thought I would like to get some feedback. Thanks!

hi- I had a partial previa but it did resolve itself at 20w (was partial since 12w).. My OB said it can resolve by itself and they don;t watch it "more" until 30w+ and even so then it's not a big issue.. no bleeding is good.. if you do start spotting- take it easy for a while and let your OB know..

I had one with my first pregnancy. I had several episodes of heavy bleeding, but it did correct itself by around 5 months. I had to be on partial bedrest (during the bleeding), and pelvic rest (no sex) until it had moved. It was very scary, but it turned out just fine. If yours doesn't move, they'll schedule a c-section for you.
