Q: placental lakes

my wife is 19 weeks along w/our second son. we have been seeing a parinatologist and yesterday was our second visit. they thought she had 30% abruption, but now they state it was contractions. she is experiencing uteran activity. yesterday they pointed out (x2) plancental lakes. (x1) above the umbilical cord and (x1) below. they gave us no size, but stated (x1) is larger than the other. they are going to monitor this every (x2) weeks. my understanding is if they do not produce a clot, she and baby should be ok. they recomended we take the test for DS to check some levels, (doesnt matter to us what they say, we will never aboard). so my question: are there statistics that show what happened in other pregnancies compareable to our situation. our dr has had (x1) patient in 7 years with the same situation and she carried full term and had natural birth and healthy baby. my wife had a tubal pregnancy and lost her left tube, 3 months later she found out she was pregna! nt with our 9 month old son, (carried w/no complications), and she is 19 weeks along w/our next baby. she is very scared and driving herself crazy and we cant find much information on this.
