OT:16 weeks Pregnant

Dorothy · 2005-02-01T01:50:54+00:00

I haven't been able to write in a while as my plate has been full. December 28th I had a sub chorionic bleed and now. Well, it has been a long 16 weeks and we had our amniocentesis on Friday. Which is where they detected the first signs of Placenta Previa. Yesterday, I started to bleed a little bit. So, the Dr. said to lay down and drink plenty of water. The bleeding stopped and I went to see him first thing this AM. He thinks that the Placenta Previa could have caused the bleeding and that he thinks my Placenta will move away from the cervix as the pregnancy progresses. Please say a prayer for me and my family that the rest of this pregnancy goes SMOOTHLY!! He told me to take it easy for the rest of the week (lay on the couch) LOL which should be rather interesting with a 33 month old. Who really loves attention!! This should be an interesting week. God Bless to all, Dorothy in NY

Oh goodness Dorothy. I hope that you get better soon. Get as much rest as you can. I know it can't be easy with a 33 month old.

Glad things are looking up, Dorothy! I was hoping that things would go back to normal! I'll continur to pray that eveerytrhing goes well till it's time for the little one to take a first peak at the sun. Isn't it wonderful that you now have a fellow RCSer just exists away? This group is such a blessing that I include it and all it's members in every prayer.

Dorothy, I am saying prayers for you and you baby. As much bed rest as you can please do. A close friend of mine had this occur and she was ordered to bed rest with an ice pack to her lower abdoman. She had four little ones, the oldest being five years old at the time. Her husband,her sister and I rook turns spending the day with her and taking care of the kids and the house and doing for her so she would not have to get up except to the bathroom. Is there someone who could take your little one for the day until your hubby comes home ?

Hugs, Sabrina in Kentucky

a good friend is a life long treasure
