Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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 labor

Question 2

I'm a 29-year-old working woman and I've been married for two years. We're trying for a baby and have been trying for the past couple of months. My period cycle is usually 31 days. I was expecting my period on the 24th of July but there's been no sign of it yet. I took a pregnancy test using Pregakem on the morning of the 27th, but the result was invalid; there were no lines at all. For the last 45 days, I've also been experiencing breast and nipple tenderness and have a cold sore on my lips. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I take another test or could there be something else going on?

Question 3

I'm about 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and the only symptom I've had has been tender breasts. But for the last two days, the pain has completely disappeared, and my breasts feel just like they did before I was pregnant. Is this disappearing symptom normal, or could it mean something's wrong? This is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling pretty anxious. My first scan is due on October 8th. What should I expect?
