So I went in for my 18wk anatomy scan. It was quick, needless to say. We couldn't find the sex of the baby because he had his legs crossed and folded up. The tech didn't try too hard either. Gave it one shot, and that was it. So that was sad. Then when I went in to see my Dr, it was brought up that the tech noted that I have complete placenta previa. I'm just soooo pissed. When am I going to get a break? Lost our first son, our planned baby. And now there is a chance to loose this one, and might even be some complications with me during this time too. I just can't believe this. I hate hate hate the factthat there are all those other females that get pregnant, without planning, it, don't want the kids, yet they have no problems at all for the entire pregnancy. Life is so damn unfair. So now I am stuck in this waiting period. My next ultrasound isn't until I'm 28wks, 10wks away. And I asked why it's so far away, and he said because these things dont move fast, so 10 wks would be a good time. I disagree. He also added that since I go in every other week to have my cervix checked since I have a cerclage, that they can see the placenta then too. So I guess I'll just have to pressure the tech to give me feedback about it. I'm just so scared that this won't move on its own. That the baby won't get the needed nutrients and O2 because the placenta isn't properly attached where it should be. Geez I hate this. And I hate that my dr is so damn optimistic about this. And the fact that he didn't give me any other restrictions. Aghhhh!!!!!!!!!

Hi Beegee, I remember you from TTCAL, I haven't been reading this site so much since I got pregnant, but check in occasionally, and saw your news that you are on bedrest. I hope you are going ok. It must be so hard having lost one baby nearly this far along. I guess the good thing is that you are already past that stage, and every week you can get through, your little one has a better chance in the wide world. I am thinking of you! Do you like to read books? At the beginning of this pregnancy when I was so scared of miscarrying again, I started reading a series of fantasy books by Robin Hobb - the first one is called Assassin's Apprentice - sounds a bit scary but actually lots of fun and so readable - I got sucked into the story and couldn't put the books down for weeks. It really took my mind off the waiting. Also I think you shouldn't be scared of really pushing your OB for more ultrasounds and checks - it is so much better to feel you have some control and I think those things really help. And also really pin him/the paediatrician down on what they will do if your baby is born soon to give it the best possible chance. I am sure it will be ok. Take care and stay strong for your little one. xx

Oh nooooo!!!! You should check and see if you have any ultrasound schools near you. There is one near me and they do free ultrasounds after 18 weeks. A friend of mine went almost every week and said they do really in depth ultrasounds due to the fact that since they are in school they have to show their teachers everything... maybe you could find one near you that does this as wel?!!! Ill be praying for you and the little one. Hopefully the previa will move on its own!! Sending you lots of love and prayers.

Nothing will make you feel better now until you know for sure that everything is going to be ok l know that but please take a little comfort in knowing that people are hoping and praying for you and your little one.10 is a long time!! Could you request another ultrasound to check the placenta in 5 weeks just to see if there is slight improvement?? You must be sooo p****d off with everything right now and l know it doesnt seem fair that women have kids that they don't really want and yet nothing ever bad happens to them, we see it all the time!! Take one day at a time, vent, cry, do whatever you need to to get through this caus you will get through it (((big huggs))) l'll be thinking of you all the time!!xxx

That is awful for you and 10 weeks is so long to be left without news! I hope you get a good outcome x
kentsmommy - Thursday, 10 Mar
So sorry to hear that!! I'll be hoping and praying that this resolves itself soon. In the meantime, try to take care of yourself and baby. Hopefully you'll get a better report when going in for your checkup in 2 weeks. By the way, I had a girlfriend with previa and she delivered at 25 wks. It was scary and crazy for about a month but her son is now in kindergarten and doing great! So hang on and try to stay positive. I know its easier said than done though. Good luck and keep us posted.

Oh sweetie... i hope it all works out for the best... i bet your stressed to the limit... and i hope this pregnancy gets better for you.... i would ask for a us everytime you go in and also ask to be refered to a peri. if your dr says no.. then a) you need a new one B) tell him that you want it in writting that he is not goin to refer you to a peri and promises all will be fine..in Writting.. that should help. also if you are worried you should be getting sonos a lot more frequently... I get my cerclage in a week and am starting bed rest till 25 wks. i also told my ob that i want to be seen every week from wk 17 -25 and be sono and checked internally for changes. she said that its not nessacary but that she ill do it if thats what i need to feel safe. i am also getting refered to a peri ... And yes i totally agree wiht you about them ppl who get unplanned perfect pg/s it just pisses me off. and then they are all like dont stress.. it wil be okay... just makes me want to scream... (not just hormones talkin..lol) I really hope it works out for you and you get a healthy baby.... try to relax ... as in stay in bed... keep pressureof your cervix and sleep sleep sleep~ all the best ~ my thoughts are with you and your little one.

oh honey please dont stress and worry (easy for me to say i know) this is your baby and its going to work for you. fingers and toes and everything crossed for you. xxxxxxx

I know I said this in the forum but I have known so many people with previa and it almost always moves up. That does absolutely suck that they will not give you another ultrasound for 10 weeks. Plus you won't know the gender until then either and that sucks too!! What state do you live in they are really assholes there!! I know what you mean about people not wanting kids and having no problems at all. People who do want kids and would actually make good parents have IC and fibroids. No fair at all.

I know you are angry and scared,but please don't lose hope.we are here for you.I had partial placental previa and it moved so don't give up hope that yours will shift.Take care of yourself.((hugs))
