Question about low lying placentas

On a midwifery listserv I am on, someone said that she has a patient who had a placenta 3cm from the os at 33/34 weeks and a month later, it had migrated on it's own to 8cm from the os. Isn't that impossible at a late stage of pregnancy?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
