The dr said my placenta is "lower than normal". Has anyone else been told that? What can it mean?

@babymay2016, thank you so much for the information! The ER dr told me so I'll be following up with my dr Monday! I was just worried cuz I didn't know exactly what it meant

Your welcome

It isn't really anything to worry about this early. It can actually move up, but they will monitor it to make sure it isn't covering your cervix later in your pregnancy. I have an anterior placenta where my placenta is in the front, and they will also check again before birth to make sure it isn't covering my cervix.

@mommagotbump16, @brandidodge ohhhh ok! Got it! Thank you guys!!!

It means your placenta is close to the cervix, so they will monitor it. If the placenta was covering the cervix and didn't move by your due date then you'd probably need a c-section @lionesssmommy @brandidodge

It means you plecenta is close to your cervix, if it dont move you will probably end up having a c-section.
