Feeling low cos of low placenta

😥I just broke down at home after my week 16 gynae visit, cos I was told my placenta position is quite low. Am a #1stimemom and seriously wish for a smooth pregnancy, preferably natural delivery. Apparently I can't do or eat any specific thing to help the placenta move up. Feeling helpless, lost and worried. Has anyone had similar experience? I'm hoping to hear from mummies whose placenta gradually, amazingly moved from low to normal position. At which week did your gynae conclude your placenta position is normal? Did you try to do anything to help the placenta move up? *I know I need to avoid sex and strenuous activity, and am aware of the complications, so it's okay to leave those out pls! Might just break down again after being reminded of these :( Really am just here to see if there are real cases of successful placenta migration. [Thank you all so much for your sharing and encouragement! ♡]

Mine was low too up until 3rd trimester. I guess 3weeks before my due my gynae checked the placenta has moved up. Don't worry too much, all will be well. I told the baby to help mummy push the placenta up 🤭 silly me.

Just keep a positive mind and don't stress too much. I remembered one of the scan my gynae said my baby's head on the placenta. I told my baby don't use placenta as pillow. 😆
