Well, just when I think I am feeling better and things are good....another baby trial comes. I went in for my ultrasound last Tuesday and found out that I have placenta previa. That is when your placenta has grown over your cervex.
My placenta is lying so low that the doctor said if I were to lift something too heavy or turn wrong, I could tear it and start bleeding and have to deliver right then by c-section, no matter how far along I was. That is the big concern right now.
So, I am now on bedrest and have to stay down as much as possible. For someone that never sits down, this is killing me. I go back in at 28 weeks (on Feb 24) to see if it has moved or not. If not, I am on bedrest until I deliver and have to have a c-section. If so, then it's back to normal.I am so nervous because the doctor said at 24 weeks they can usually sustain the baby's life, but they try to get you to 32 weeks in order to eliminate most long-term complications. I am at 22 1/2 weeks right now so it's a very crucial time for our little guy.
We decided with this being so crucial to this baby's life that we would go to the extreme and take every precaution possible since it's been 2 years for us to finally get to this point of having another baby. What a rocky road we have been on........
So, Mallory just started going to daycare at Tim's school everyday and it killed me. I cried for 2 hours the first day she went. I just feel so bad she is having to go through so many changes too. She LOVES it though and tells Tim to "go back to your class" every time he comes to check on her. That makes me feel much better about it since she loves being there.
I tried to stay down and take care of her for a week and that was too hard, so we decided that would be best just for this temporary time period.
I am getting pretty bored laying in bed all day, so feel free to call or come see me if you are in the area!! =-)
I will keep you posted with what happens next, hopefully it will only be positive news from here.
