Hi everyone,
I have been tentatively been diagnosed with vasa previa - a condition where fetal vessels develop outside of the cord and placenta and are imbedded in the amniotic sac around the area covering the cervix. It is a very serious condition because if the membranes rupture the baby will likely lose it's blood supply and bleed out quickly. I have been referred to a high risk pregnancy unit for them to investigate this further and am just playing the waiting game to get an appt time and date. Just looking to see if anyone has any experience with this? And if so, how was it managed? Hoping to find some support from others who have or are currently going through a smilier situation, or just support in general! I have already read a quite a bit about the condition. I am very anxious and stressed out from all this waiting, the unknowns, and the lack of control that I have throughout this situation. I am just praying for a healthy baby and normal pregnancy.
Thank you for the support
