Hey everyone! I read here more then post, but I am planning a HBA2c in August with a midwife who is also a doctor. (She has been a midwife since the 70's, went to med school in the 90's and runs a holstic family practice now, doing homebirths on the side
)
I had to get my appendix out last week, oh fun! I went to the ER and we didnt know what was wrong with me, so of course they did ultrasound (but I still didnt find out what the baby was, although I SO could have, GO ME!). I KNEW I had a anterior placenta because of not feeling the baby move this late in the game (I was 19 weeks and some days). I told the doctor before the ultrasound I had a anterior placenta and as soon as she put the machine on me, she said it and looked at me and said "How did you know that!?" I read alot *grins*.
Anyways, she told me it was NOT previa, and was quite far from being previa, and would move up even further during pregnancy. This is good news for me whooo hooo.
I called my midwife and she said not a problem. This is good too.
My question is though, are you supposed to vbac with a anterior placenta? Has anyone here ever done it? Is this safe? Especially at home? I mean, I am going to be takng risks doing it at home anyway, but is this over the top? I thought there was a risk that it was on the scar tissue? Is this a risk? Thanks for any info you can give me!
