Interesting they diagnosed that at 18wks, i had one and delivered right away at 34 wks. Id get a second opinion, cause that sounds wrong to me.

Yeah my dr has me on bedrest and i had been bleeding went to the er they said i was fine, then i went to my dr and got my 20 week u.s. the baby is really small and he showed me where i had blood between the placenta and uterus, put me on monitering and bedrest, its not a complete tear only partial, but then bleeding started again went to the er they said the same thing...idk the whole thing is...gah

I remember having my low lying placenta (and circumvallet at that) with my 2nd daughter, i swear the hospital wasmy second home!! Extreme bed rest (ifpossible) may help a bit! I hadno idea you could have a partial abruption. What is your goal week they want to get you to?

They are sending me to a specialist so idk .....lol... i guess its like hey dont stress but were gonna switch your doctor to stress u out.
