03-11-2009 - Stubborn Placenta

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Went to the doctor today for the usual check up and to discuss my ultrasound from two weeks ago. My placenta was at the edge of my cervix at 19 weeks and has only moved 1.3cm. Apparently it needs to move 3cm before he will even consider letting me attempt natural birth. He said we can wait another two weeks, have a scan and see if anything has changed but he isn't very hopeful. I have been trying not to think about the birth one way or another until after this scan and have to admit to being more than a little disappointed. I know that at the end of the day a healthy baby is all I want but I feel a bit cheated.

So I will try to remain positive and hope for some miracle movement, otherwise I will be having a c-section in week 39.
