I think it could potentially cause complications. There's a condition called placenta previa that I think you should be aware of. I'm not trying to scare you at all, but just keep it in mind in case your doctor brings it up.

Information on this condition can be found at http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy /pregcomplications/830.html

.your doctor should discuss the ultrasound findings at your next appointment as well as your options from here. Good luck, and please keep us updated.

for now don't worry doll.
It's called lowline placenta.
You're early in pregnancy and the chance of your placenta moving on it's own is great.
At my 20 week scan they saw my placenta was only 1.5cm away from my cevix, wheras most are about 3 or so, I think that's how he explained it anyways... I just know it was 1.5 something and called lowline placenta .
next Monday I have my follow up scan just to be sure it moved.
but definitely look at the site about placenta previa , because it is a possibilty and it's very informative.

A few words of advice , because of where your placenta is sitting... you can possibly bleed/spot easier ... be sure to be extra careful and gentle if engaging in any of the fun stuff , and just take it as easy as possible, that doesnt mean bedrest or anything drastic , just take your time with things and be especially easy on your body. They'll most likely do a follow up scan in a month or so , maybe sooner maybe later to see how things have progressed.

Good Luck!

I had my 24 week scan yesterday and the docter still told me that my placenta haven't moved and that its lying underneath my baby, have anyone had this experience, I'm just wonderring wheter I would have to go for a c section on this one, I had my first son with a normal birth and ws hoping to do the same with this one... any advice?

I am on my 13th week and in my ultrasound the technitian told that i am having a low line placenta so i am worried a lot because on june (after compleating 5 months in pregnancy i want to go to Dubai, now i am worried how can i travel in the aircraft when i am having a lowline placenta.

i have a "kind of" low placenta too...i dont think it causes any problems but i know if its too low then u have to get a c section...[which mine doesnt sit that low] but since your baby will be sitting low , when you sneeze you might pee your self a little or just when you cough
