My wife is 15 weeks pregnant and we recently found out during her NT scan that she has a low-lying placenta. One doctor mentioned she might need a c-section and warned us about potential risks to both her and the baby's lives, which has me really worried. We also talked to another doctor who said it's not a big deal. I'm trying to understand what all of this really means and what the potential outcomes could be, especially the worst-case scenarios we should be prepared for. Could you help clarify this?

A low-lying placenta, also known as placenta previa, is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. At 15 weeks, it's not uncommon for the placenta to be low-lying, but in most cases, it will move up and away from the cervix as the uterus grows. In about 9 out of 10 cases, a low-lying placenta resolves on its own by the time you reach the third trimester. However, if the condition persists, it may cause bleeding during pregnancy and laborLast updated on 22 Jan 2025
