Looking forward to: Having a HEATHLY baby. Seeing him again on ultrasound and finding out everythings okay (hopefully) !
So it was a really good and really BAD week at the same time. We did find out we're having a boy this time! Much excitement over that! Then on Monday i got a call from the doc's office. Apparently at this point i have partial placenta previa, so i am on some restrictions until we can check on ultrasound again. Baby is fine as far as we know at this point, this condition doesn't affect him at all, just the birth would have to be a scheduled c-section. They also mentioned they'd be checking his heart again but no reason as to why. So a bit of mixed emotions. I actually get to see the doc on Tuesday and go over the first ultrasound results with her then, and hopefully we'll be reassured and feel better after that.
Hi Miranda. Hope all is ok. I know the anxious feeling. I, too, had partial placenta previa with Jack. They did another ultrasound at 30 weeks and everything had moved so I was able to have him natural. Wish you the best.

Thanks a lot Angie, that's re assuring to know. I will hopefully feel a lot better after Tuesdays doctor visit. I'm just not sure why she made that comment about the heart. I did see in my research that 9 out of 10 cases of partial placenta previa that are caught before 20weeks usually clear up on their own. So that's good, but honestly a c-section doesn't bother me too much either. We'll see what happens!
