Q: Placenta Previa

Well I went to my doctor today for an appt. My next appt wasnt till july 17th and she knows ive been having some anxiety problems so she had me come in, and to show me the ultrasound results from my ultrasound last friday.

We heard the heartbeat, still in the 160's like it always has been. She told me I could take Ativan (which i've been on before) for anxiety once in awhile if i needed it. She said the baby has already developed now its just growing so its not going to cause any birth defects.

However she said shes concerned about where my placenta is. I've been told ABSOLUTELY NO SEX. My placenta is laying right over the cervix. She said it can be common, and it should move as my uterus gets bigger but she wants to keep an eye on it. She said some of the vaginal pain ive been having and went to the hospital for might be associated with that. If it doesn't move i'll have to get regular ultrasounds and will not be allowed to go into labour on my own and have to have a csection. I'm really hoping as my uterus grows it does because i really want a natural birth

That happened to me, anyways it moved up at 26 weeks, its really common for boys and placenta previa, I dont know if it is a boy though. I had some really sharp pains and alot of spotting, I was given the no sex rule as well which was a real bummer, but it will probably move up, just think positive!!!
