I have just been to have ultra sound as I had alot of bleeding, like a period, and the fetus, has a heart beat but is lying very low in the womb, near to the entrance, I have been told by the radiologist chances are this pregnancy will end in miscarraige but my gyn was a bit more positive. What would you think?
Hallow Dear, Your Gynecologist seems to be correct. However, the period of gestation will play an important role. If your placenta is not near the opening of the uterus (internal OS of the cervix), if the cervix is closed and having sufficient length, fetus in the lower part of the uterus should not cause any threat to the pregnancy. Please have frequent scans to follow the condition of the cervix. If the cervix starts funneling due to opening of the internal opening, you will require encircle stitch around the cervix to reinforce the cervix. This stitch will be removed before delivery, any time between 37 and 39 weeks of pregnancy. Meanwhile, keep watch on the uterine contractions. The uterus is continuously contracting and relaxing (Braxton Hicks's contractions). If they become painful, you will have to report to your Gynecologist who will put you on uterine relaxants. Better take bed rest, avoid weight lifting and avoid exercises. Hope this helps you.
