This video has cleared so many of my doubts🥹 thanks a lot for making such videos! God bless ❤

Awesome! I have an anterior placenta with my first baby. Currently about 23 weeks pregnant and have been feeling our boy kicking and moving a lot in my lower right side of my belly since about 20 weeks. I’m glad I can still feel him moving even with my anterior placenta but I did have a lot of questions regarding this. Thanks for the info!!

I had an anterior placenta. I felt my baby move mostly on the side of my belly and the top. I’m thankful that even with an anterior placenta that I still felt the movements, that really is the best part of pregnancy.

31 weeks along/High Risk-previous preterm/AMA/with Anterior placement. The OBs had a tough time the first couple of appointments locating baby's heart beat. This little man moves so much mostly above the belly button is where I started feeling more movement. I can feel him lower now and can only imagine how much more movement I would feel if the placenta was in a different location. Thanks for covering this topic. Looking forward to more videos. We appreciate your knowledge Dr AliRod.❤

This was so helpful! I have an anterior placenta and now I know why I just started feeling baby move every now and then and his movements aren’t too strong. Thank you, Ali!

I have Ant low lying off cervix, and my baby is breech,I'm worried,I'm 14wks, how is it going with you and what's your baby gender with Anterior placenta

Thank you for the breakdown and explanation

Thanks for this! My first baby was a fundal placenta, my second was a posterior and this babe is only 16 weeks but I’m fairly confident we are posterior again because the movement is so clear to me.

Very informative ❤

Super helpful! I am nearly in my third trimester but I don’t know what type of placenta I have. I’ll need to ask next time I have a scan

Great video! Thank you ❤

Great video! With my last baby (25 years ago) mine was fundal. However, I have a large fibroid that was in the way for delivery. I would love to see a video about that. I was watched very closely all day, I was induced because I never actually go into labor on my own. (Bets were made that I would need a section, but ended up delivering vaginally a 9lb9ounce, 22 inch boy)

I delivered with a complete previa at 33 weeks last July. I had a hemorrhage at 32 weeks and was admitted to the hospital for the duration of my pregnancy (c section scheduled at 36 weeks) however one week later at 33 weeks and 1 day I had another massive hemorrhage and my water broke and it was section time. Baby is perfect and 5 months now ❤

Definitely one of the risks with complete previa! So glad you and baby are doing well!!

i had an anterior placenta with my second baby but i sure as hell still felt him kick like crazy! now, with my third, i was diagnosed with complete placenta previa at 20 weeks😢 as of now (37 weeks and 3 days) it moved but is only 7mm away from the cervix and considered low lying. i’m rather devastated as i was so excited to have another VBAC.

I love this. I have anterior placenta and baby in transverse lay.

placentas are so interesting! My first pregnancy i ended up getting an infection in my placenta, now im currently 36 weeks with my 2ed and had a scan done today and i was told i had calcification spots on my placenta! So now i have to have a weekly scan! Can you do more videos on placentas?

Love your channel Can you talk about synchronic hematoma My daughter has been told she is 6 weeks pregnant but has been bleeding and that hematoma When can you hear the baby heartbeat at how many weeks and can hcg levels rise then drop and go back up

Anterior, posterior and then posterior again. I have been able to feel my posterior babies SUPER early on. I’m due in late February! We’re very excited 😁🥰

@@alirodmd thank you! We are very excited. I had a csection then a VBAC so we’ll see how he’s born, too!

I had an anterior placenta. No issues with the placenta but my daughter was breached and I had low amniotic fluid and had to have a c-section at 35 weeks because the levels kept dropping.

I had anterior and low lying until about 24 weeks that fixed itself thankfully

Posterior placenta after having to do IVF - I didn’t even know how lucky I was to have a posterior one until around 20 ish weeks. So blessed to feel every little movement. I first felt him at 13 weeks and now that I’m 32 weeks, I know I was feeling hiccups that early. He’s a busy little boy!

Am 18 weeks pregnant and in my recent appointment my doctor said the baby is way down in my uterus which is too early by 18 weeks . Please what problems can that cause and how do i take precautions 😊

I had an anterior placenta with 3 of my 4, and one of them was borderline low-lying early on but moved up later. That baby was breech until I had an ECV at 38 weeks. I've wondered if the anterior placentas had to do with my uterus being retroverted. I felt all of my babies very early. With my first, I could feel and see kicks from the outside at 17 weeks even with the placenta right up front. At the end, she kicked me so hard that my ribs were bruised.

I had a slightly low lying anterior placenta at 22 weeks but by my 36 week scan it was high up and completely fine for a natural delivery. If it hadn’t moved I wouldn’t have been able to have my chilled birth centre delivery at the hospital so I’m glad. 😅

This is interesting, my placenta was abnormally large with my daughter. My OB was fascinated by it after the birth.

I had complete previa with my second pregnancy. I had 3 bleeds (second one being a massive hemorrhage) and delivered at 31 weeks. We are considering trying for a third baby but I’m terrified. Is it common for this to happen again or typically just random? I did not have it with my first pregnancy.

I had an anterior placenta yea i felt my baby but it was more like butterflys/ soft movement , but i sware he'd kick my bladder at 1am 😅

Anterior placenta and its lower margin is 40 mm away from internal os is it ok or not

Does it take longer to find baby's heartbeat in Anterior placenta?

I'm 20 weeks and a 1st time mom and had my anatomy scan last week and they found that I had complete placenta previa but said it's possible that it will migrate to a different position because I really want to avoid a c-section.

i’m 37+3 and was similarly diagnosed with complete previa at my 20 week scan. doc said it would move, just a matter of how much. i now have low lying placenta, but it’s only 7mm away from the cervix so i will likely have to have another csection. so don’t totally lose hope mama.

I had placenta previa, but they said it was implanted low, I had just found out I was pregnant, and started bleeding, so I thought I was having a miscarriage. We went to the er and I was 4 weeks and 3 days. I ended up carrying until I was induced at 37 weeks. I was able to have her naturally. And now she is 20yrs old!

Lol I’ll have to ask my doc again what spot mine was again I forgot 😂 but I have my 26 week ultrasound in 2 days 😁🤞

How does it work if you have 2 patients about to deliver at the exact same time? Im sure it may be rare but say you have 2 patients at the pushing point.. how does that work?

@alirodmd

7 ай бұрын

It's rare, but also why we have call schedules and even back up doctors to help cover! Usually if two patients are pushing occasionally we have to have one patient stop pushing or labor down. Same thing happens if there's an emergency going on with one patient but the other one is stable.

How does a low lying anterior posterior placenta impact having a C-section?

@adriannegonzalez3277

7 ай бұрын

I might not be 100% correct on the specifics of this but having a low lying placenta can be too close to the cervix or even lay on top of the placenta which can increase risks of placenta abruption during a vaginal delivery which can cause you to bleed out so to avoid and danger to you or your baby the doctor will schedule a c-section but if your placenta moves up enough from having a low lying placenta which can happen it's rare but possible then you can have a trial of vaginal labour but if anything does go wrong in labour you still have a chance of having to have an emergency c-section

Congrats! When did you feel the kicks for the first time?

This makes so much sense. I guess I have always had posterior placenta in my previous pregnancies because I was able to feel my babies movements very early on, like around 10/11weeks. This pregnancy I got scared because I couldn’t feel my baby moving anymore nor track a heartbeat on my at-home Doppler so I went to the ER to check for miscarriage. The ultrasound nurse showed me exactly what you mentioned here that I had an Anterior placenta. I saw how much “cushion” was in the way and my baby was “hiding” and tucked away behind it. 🥹 Of course their equipment was able to pick up the heartbeat very quickly and I just cried tears of relief.

I’m 27 weeks with an anterior placenta but I do feel my baby girl A LOT specially on the sides of my belly, top, and bottom. 🥹
