I am so upset. Had DD via C section due to transverse positioning and then got green light for VBAC.
At 19 week u/s found low lying placenta and at follow up today at 25 weeks I was told that I have a "funic presentation" or in other words the cord is between the baby and the cervix and there is a high likelihood of cord prolapse with vaginal delivery and even the possibility of cord compression by the baby before that.
I am scared of the baby needing to be delivered early because of cord compression and lack of oxygen, of being admitted to the hospital and away from DD and I so didn't want another C section.
Have to go back in 3 weeks for follow up and if it is still like that I will need NSTs and biophysicals to make sure cord is not being compressed.
ANyone with a similar experience?
(Oh and I was so bummed because I had just asked a colleague who was a midwife in another country to be my doula and she said yes)
