End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

oh sorry to hear I'm not the only one :( hopeful though omni that yours went away but I get the feeling this is only going to get worse as I go on.
I really like your idea char :haha:

I don't know how to tell how im carrying, I will post tonight and get your opinions :)
 
I have a slightly bad hip and get some mild issues out of pregnancy so I thought it might be the way the baby sits in the 4th and 5th month pressing on something. I am sure it had gone by now with DS though. :shrug:

Look forward to another bump photo. Although the first time around I could not tell how I was carrying until about 25-30 weeks.
 
Just got back from my obstetric appt and the Dr told me that at my 18.5 week ultrasound I have a very low placenta. He is going to schedule me for another at about 28-30 weeks and if it doesn’t move I will need a c-section. I’m so devastated as I have been so excited for a drug-free natural childbirth and have spent nearly $1000 to hire a doula, take a 5 week hypnobirthing course and purchase books on the topic. He said as of now I have a 50/50 chance of the placenta moving so I’m trying to stay very hopeful.

Did any of you ladies have this problem in your previous pregnancies or this one?

:cry:
 
I didn't have it in my previous pregnancy but I have it now as well :( I'm having another scan at 32 weeks. Fingers crossed it had moved then. The woman who did my scan did say that the placenta moves a lot of the times. But I really don't want a c-section either! My friend had a low lying placenta and it was still there on her 32 week scan so they scanned her again at 36 weeks and it moved. So I'm hopeful it will move.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
Xx
 
Thanks Pebbie, I noticed both you and MizzPodd said you had it too when I read back a bit. That's great to know about your friend, my OB Dr said that if it's still fully covering at 28-30 weeks then it's probably not going to move. But as c-sections are easier for an OB Dr. he might not be giving it enough opportunity. Based on your friends experience I will be pushing for later ultrasounds if that is the case. I hope you get good news at your next US too hun!! xoxox
 
Yeah, I get that feeling too! The same as with Omi where they are trying to get her to have a c-section as well. I don't get why as recovering from natural birth goes so much quicker than with a c-section?
 
I am sorry to hear that. I wanted a natural drug-free home birth with my son and my midwife was on board if I stayed low risk but I didn't and had to have a planned c-section. I am not going to lie, now just over 2 years and 8 months on from the c-section and I am still disappointed and feel like I missed out, although know for sure I really needed it last time. This time I want a drug-free birth and was told at the very least I will get constant monitoring, an IV put in and an epidural but they want me to go for a repeat c-section and I suspect they will try and push the issue at my 36 week scan and appointment. It is really sad to feel like you have missed that opportunity and I know it will not make you feel any better but I will say what everyone has always said to me...it doesn't matter how your baby gets here as long as mother and baby are fit and well when s/he does! I know that those words of wisdom will not help right now though. :hugs:

However a low lying placenta at this stage can move. I don't know loads on the topic but from what i have read, if you have a low placenta at around 20 weeks it is more likely to move than not. :flower:

Hey omi!:hugs: sorry you are dealing with this too! Hope I can lift your spirits a little. With dd1 I had low placenta and despite that and all the other problems, I was able to deliver natural at 39 weeks :) because of gestation thrombocytopenia I can't have epidurals so I have had each delivery natural and plan for this one too. I was about to have a c section because other problems and my labor wasn't progressing but on the way the high risk hospital I started crowning! Lol so it's not a lost cause Hun; I think your placenta still has a good chance of correcting itself. I think we all will have better placentas by delivery time:)
 
Baby face your placenta can definitely move right now... At my 37 weeks I think, they saw the placenta had moved to the right place so dot let those docs stress you out Hun. I wanted to be able to move and stuff with dd1 but they had me hooked up to magnesium, bp machine and iv :( I hope that this hospital allows me to do some walking because even though it was natural, I had to stay in the bed the whole time and goodness that was challenging not moving lol

And I agree with you as long as mom and baby are safe then it doesn't matter how the baby gets here. And the baby got as far as they did because us mommies kept them safe and fed then and protected them so not getting the delivery you want doesn't mean you didn't do it right... You did just fine :hugs: :)
 
I have felt a little off the past few days and feel worse again tonight. The symptoms are how the pregnancy induced hypertension started last time at only a couple of weeks past what I am now. I had my blood pressure checked a week ago and it was fine but I am going to call the doctors tomorrow to get it checked just to be sure. It is probably nothing but after having pre-eclampsia before I feel a bit scared now. :nope:
 
Thanks. It is probably nothing but I have a few more symptoms then I did last time when i went to see a nurse just to make sure and then was sent to hospital in a ambulance. I just really hope that if it is hypertension again that like last time it does not become full pre-eclampsia until near the end again. Of course I may be panicking over nothing because of what happened last time though. :shrug:
 
Wow! I really hope we all get the birth experience we want. Fingers crossed for your migrating placenta babyface. I suppose we never know how it will go, so as long as none of us feel that we have failed in the end.

Hi mizzpod. Congratulations on your rainbow baby. Bed rest sounds lovely, but I bet it isn't! Your OH must be amazing. Have you got plenty to occupy your time? I want to take up crochet. Just to make a granny square blanket - just a thought if you are crafty.

Omi- we have the same onesie. I haven't worn mine yet. My SIL is a size 8 and was wearing hers at Xmas. I really didn't fancy standing next to her in mine. Lol.
I wanted the cow print one and a double hands free electric breast pump.

No snow at all here x
 
Hey omi, hope all is ok! I'll keep my fingers crossed hun. Keep us posted x
 
Had my anatomy scan today and got conformation that we are still team :blue:...Nickolas is doing well...it seemed like they have measured every inch of his little body and he is good according to all the measurements :happydance:...She has told me that he weighs 15 ounces…they have also done viginal u/s to check on placenta and as it stands right now I have low lying placenta that is covering the birth canal (complete placenta previa)…so no more zumba, heavy lifting, intercourse or any ting that could aggravate and make me bleed…I am going back in 8 weeks (28 weeks) so that he can recheck it and see if placenta has moved any…if it does not then another u/s is going to be done around 36 weeks…at that point if it is still not moved I am more than likely having a c-section…Placenta is also anterior and that is why I cannot feel him kick right now…they said in few weeks I should start feeling more…How many of you have placenta previa and if it got corrected with your fist how far along were you?
 
thanks so much ladies for sharing your experiences and for your kind words. it really made me feel better :flower:

I'm going to try to stay positive and hope that we all see our placentas moving up at the next scans :)

omni I hope you don't come down with pe! I don't know a lot about it but it sounds like you had a hard time with it last time <3 let us know how you make out tomorrow

mizzpodd I'm glad yours moved last time it must have been very difficult having a drug free birth and not being allowed to move about!!

PS the Dr said I shouldn't move my edd they only do that if it's different by 10 or more so I'm a end of may babymaker again :)
 
I have decided to attempt to get an appointment with my midwife tomorrow if there is one free. I just want checking out to put my mind at ease so waiting a day should be fine and the midwife will be more likely not to feel like I am wasting her time and actually write it up in my notes.

sasha0430, I am really glad that everything is measuring well. FX the placenta has moved. I have a friend a month ahead of me with full complete placenta previa who had a few bleeds in the second trimester, she is having a c-section but it is also due to past pregnancy history.

Passion4shoes, I love my onesie's but my Christmas one is a size 8 and there is no way I was fitting into that this Christmas just gone!
