Is A C-section The Delivery Option When Diagnosed With Low Lying Placenta?

Get second opinion ultrasound scan.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I have read you query and I understand your concerns about low lying placenta.
Following is my reply:
1) Low lying placenta at this stage is unlikely to move away in 4 weeks.
2) There could also be observer variation. Hence I suggest you repeat another ultrasound scan from another scan centre after 2 weeks to confirm if placeta is really low.
3) It is always better to seek second opinion in such cases to clarify doubts about low lying placenta and its exact distance from the os.
4) If another report also shows low lying placenta, C section is an alternative.
I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.
Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya


Get ultrasound scan done in different hospital
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are right. The ultrasound needs to be repeated from different hospital to confirm this report. This report shows low lying placenta. Hence normal delivery not possible.
Avoid having sex till you repeat another ultrasound scan.
Send me repeat ultrasound scan report so that I can help you better.
Regards
