Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Placenta previa is a condition when placenta is near / over internal os ( inner opening of uterus. type of delivery depends on how much placenta extends towards the internal os.
- Low lying placenta/ placenta few cm. away form os/ placenta covering margins of os ..have chances of normal delivery with expert management/ utmost care. But placenta sitting over internal Os inevitably turns into surgical delivery (LSCS delivery )
* YOu are mentioning your placenta reaching upto 2cm.
In case it's 2cm away from internal Os.. you do have chance of normal delivery.
But if you mean it's covering internal Os.. you have to have a LSCS deliver.
* Please don't be scared, whatever is the type of delivery.. it should result in safe child birth. So whatever your doctor decides it best for you & your baby.
Thanks.
