Doctor's Appointment today

Category: My life | Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 7:22 am

Well, the doctor changed my due date to May,2nd. So I was off by 3 weeks. So I am around 11 weeks pregnant. I will be 12 weeks along on the 19th. The doctor also told me the reason for my bleeding was because I have a condition called placenta previa. It is where the placenta,the organ that "feeds" the baby through the umbilical cord, has formed close to or covering the cervix, where the baby comes out. It can cause hemorrhaging in later pregancy and preterm labor. But he didn't seem alarmed by this news because he said it was still early enough for the baby to grow more and the placenta to move upward and not cause a problem. So I won't worry until he does. If it doesn't change, I will have to have a c-section and since I was already going to have a repeat c-section..it's ok. I got to hear the heartbeat today and it was 150 and very strong. The little booger kept moving, so they had to chase it down to get the heartrate. So I will go back to the doctor in 5 weeks to check on things. So that is all I know today. It's getting colder here, and should be snowing here pretty soon. So I will post pictures of the snow when it falls and hopefully we can get some good pics of Trey in the leaves when some more fall on the ground. Take care!

It's so good that you know exactly what is happening. It can be quite worrying when there are unknowns but you don't need to worry now Heather. Keep us updated and looking forward to those snow pics already.
