Does Bleeding During Pregnancy Due To Low Lying Placenta Requires Serious Attention

At 16 weeks I started to bleed and was told that I had low lying placenta. The bleeding slowed down until I was about 18 weeks where it started up again, this was a week ago, the bleeding continues but now worried because I have started getting cramps. Is it possible to be miscarry so far into the pregnancy? Should I be worried. I have another check up in a weeks time but worried that I would be leaving it too late.

I feel sorry for the health issues you have and can understand your frustration on the issue that is all genuinly natural. Yes, this is a matter of worry and instead of waiting for a week time, you should go straight to your OBGYN for consultation and evaluation. Yes, it may lwad to miscarriage and can be associated even with more complications like uncontrolled heavy bleeding. So you need a workup as advised by your OBGYN and also to keep an eye on the issue.


I hope you get an eventless pregnancy and safely deliver the child.


Healthiest Regards!
