Placenta Previa - Keller,TX

I had it, but it cleared up in between 12-20 weeks. Often it clears up on its own. If not, I think it leads to an increased risks for some complications and for the need for a c-section.

I had it with both babies. My doc didn't seem to think it was that serious -- I just had to abstain from 'relations'. It was rougher on my hubs than it was on me :-) Anyway, it must have been a pretty mild case, because I never was too worried, and both babies were full term and perfect.

If I were you and you haven't already, I should get a 3D sonogram. If it doesn't correct itself, the farther you get along, you'll probably be put on bedrest and maybe on hospital bedrest. You may experience some hemorrages and that's what the doctor wants to monitor closely. If it doesn't correct itself, you'll probably not go full term but plenty far enough to have a healthy baby. My daughter experienced this; she was on bedrest at home 3 weeks and the last three weeks was in hospital bedrest. She had a C-Section with the baby being 6 weeks early - girl now 4 years old, healthy and happy. My sister-in-law had the same thing too having a healthy 8 weeks early baby who is now grown. You just have to be really careful. Both mothers and babies did fantastic! And there's no reason to freak out. You'd be surprised as to how many mothers have this.

Get a good doctor who has lots of experience with this. If yours doesn't, let me know and I'll give you a great doctor in the Casa Linda area. He gave my daughter his home phone as well and saw her at a minute's notice when called. He was just fantastic and upbeat and took such great care of her.

Keep us posted!

I was told that I had this with my first baby, and it was expected that I would have a C-section, but a week or so before delivery, everything just seemed to work itself out. My baby had also been breach. When she finally turned around, I bled a little bit, and then no longer had the placenta previa.
