placental lake....bedrest :(

[lissagayle]

So was wondering if anyone else has had this. I honestly never heard of this and now I have it. They say its where there are pockets or small lakes of blood have collected in the placenta. They noticed it on an ultrasound I had to have yesterday.
I had been having back pain and cramping for about a week now, and then yesterday i had some spotting called my doctor and was told go to the ER. Went nervous thinking i was having a miscarriage. But was told i have a urinary tract infection and the placental lakes. I'm only 17 weeks 6 days.
When the doctor came into the room and told me that i had the lakes, she told me they normally lead to nothing. But I had to be on moderate bedrest till monday when i go back to see my doctor so he can check them again. She said that this is something that would have to be checked on a weekly basis.
I'm nervous I would like to know if anyone has had this and what happened? What do i need to expect ?? And is 17 weeks to early for these to appear??

I kno u posted this a while ago, but i recently had my 18 wk scan and was also told i have lakes. I was just wondering how ur pregnancy and birth went. Also how u and the baby r doing.

I've not experienced this sorry but I did have to spend 6 weeks on bedrest when my waters broke at 14 weeks. Relax as best as you can, bedrest is boring but well worth it x x x

Ah just realised it's an old thread. Josi good luck Hun I'm sure it will all be fine xx

Hugs. I'm not 100% certain but it sounds like a sub placental hematoma (like a subchorionic hematoma. I had a sub chorionic since week 8 and hoping it will have finally gone at my 21 week scan (it wasn't 1 week ago...) hugs! I understand how scary of a time it can be but definitely listen to the bed rest as its been a huge help to me.
