20 week Ultrasound « Back to Group Discussions

[ljzimmer]

Today was the day for my 20 week ultrasound and I worried about everything except for the news I received.  The great news is it's a girl and she's healthy!  The not so good is I have complete placenta previa.  I have always dealt with stress with exercise and now I'm told no exertion and chance of bed rest.  Also definite C section at 37 weeks.  Still just stunned.  Anyone else out there have any insight into this condition?

Congrats on your healthy girl!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I don't have experience with that so I'll just say I'm sorry . You might want to do a search for placenta previa in the general pregnancy forum. I'm sure there are threads about it. Good luck.

Thanks.  I'll just focus on the good and practice going with the flow.  I tell you what, this being pregnant makes you good at 2 things, letting go and going with the flow.  Sheesh.  : )

Firstly, congratulations on your girl, how wonderful!!!  So sorry to hear about the placenta previa.  I wish you a wonderful pregnancy and blissful birth.  I would recommend looking into what you can do to make the c-section a nicer process, I've heard so many lovely stories these days from women seeking a gentler process when c-section is necessary.  Hope you find time to come to peace with everything, it sounds like you definitely have the right mindset: go with the flow.  Blessings!
