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.

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
