Placenta previa is when the placenta is low lying in the womb. It's quite common early on in pregnancy & gets less common as time goes by. There's only a real problem if the condition doesn't resolve itself by the end of the pregnancy.. there's no way you could have a vaginal birth with placenta previa, the risk of blood loss is too high. Try not to worry too much right now though.. you're in good hands.

Thanks, that helps!

Don't worry until your next scan. I was told at my 20 week scan that my placenta was laying low. It is very common and in most pregnancies they go up as the baby grows. If the placenta is still low at your next scan you wont be able to give birth naturally. I have my scan 10th June, so i hope the placenta has gone up. Good luck x
