I went for an u/s today. My dr req it due to the braxton hicks I have been having. I went and the baby looks great and my cervix looks great. I was pleased. We also found out that it's a boy. We were ecstatc. So the tech went to talk to the dr. We looked at the 3d pics of the baby we got and he looks just like my dh. He is so gorgeous and perfect. The Dr and the tech came in and the dr then did a vag u/s and noticed that the placenta is covering my cervix. In time it should move to early to diagnose me with placenta previa but if in about 2-4 wks it does not move then I will be officially diagnosed with placenta previa. Which is pretty common I had it with my older son. The Dr did mention that my hematoma is bigger than it was a few weeks ago. At this point I'm at a high risk for a m/c. I guess your body goes through an inflamation stage and your body reacts to the bleed and trys to dissolve it but in the meantime that can rupture my membranes or cause an infection that can go to my baby and potentially kill him. I'm scared and fighting just losing it. I have now seen my baby perfectly and feel a bond with him I can't bear to lose him not now. I asked please is there any meds I can take to make this bleed go away and she said no. It would do more harm. She told me for right now everything is fine. She told me to play the waiting game and in the meantime very little activity period. I can't stand up for long etc. So I'm not pretty much bed ridden until who knows when. I obviously will do whatever the Dr tells me to but I have all this time to think. I keep thinking about how I could just wake up and lose him. I can't bear another later term m/c. I don't have the strength. The Dr felt so bad but she asked me to think positive. I just can't. I always tell you guys think positive. I need your help! Help me to think positive. What can I do to just know that everything will work out. My poor dh is so supportive but he twists what the dr says so he doesn't have to be scared or feel pain. He can't help if something goes wrong it will kill him. Our last m/'c in sept did him in. He is now on meds and in therapy bi-weekly along with our marital counseling. I know tmi but I just want to be honest with you guys. You are all like my family and close friends. Sorry to ramble I have really fought back the tears tonight I'm afraid once I start I won't stop! Hugs to you all,

i am sorry you have to go through this, and have had a not so easy pregnancy from the beginning.  I know a few women who have been in the same exact situation as you and they were both fine.  My step sister actually went through it twice in one year and both of her dd's are fine.  They'll keep you in bed, (and you need to stay there!), she actually spent her last month in the hospital so they could give her steroid shots and monitor dd's lung development so they could section her early to make sure everything was ok. (she had it pretty bad).  It's not easy, but take it one day at a time, and you and your dear baby wil both make it through this.

Stay in Bed!  I am really sorry you are going through all of this.  I know the attachement I have with my baby now, each time you get to see him it makes it so real.  The most important thing is to know that the dr.s still think you will be OK, and you have to believe that.  As long as you take it easy and keep praying for the best everything will work out.  I wish you the best :)

AP - ok girlie...just keep thinking POSITIVE HAPPY THOUGHT!! *POSTIVE VIBES* are gushing your way from me right now as I type & you read this...feel them...they kinda tickle don't they? lol Girl you are one of the toughest women I know & you & the beautiful baby boy are going to make it through this. i can feel it in my bones. you yourself said the placenta previa is quite common. don't scare yourself and cause unnecessary excess stress right now. it isn't good for you, baby, or DH. stay in bed and on your back as much as possible. i know it *****, i was on bedrest for about 2 1/2 -3 months w/ my 1st & over 4 months w/ my 2nd. its hard, but you follow drs orders to the 'T' to save that baby (and take care of you). It will all be worth it in the end. I'm going to copy a quote that one of my moms BFs gave her to have me carry after my 2nd MC/tubal ordeal. I know you have faith in God so hopefully it will give you strength & peace as it did me. (Sorry if it offends anyone, but its helpful). She made me carry it in my pocket everyday & when I felt sad or discouraged I was to take it out & read it. Hope it helps a little...


Concentrate on this Sentence:

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you,

but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Concentrate on this sentence...

'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

You, your DH, & baby boy are in my prayers. I'm here if you need to talk! xoxoxo...now get your bootie BACK IN BED!!! *lol* (HUGS)
