Positive vibes please

I just found out I have placenta previa.  
My midwife said right now its still not covering my cervix and there is a chance it will move back up where it should be by next month.

I really really really hope it does.
Does that happen fairly often?

I'm so heartbroken I can't pick up DS anymore.
I love carrying him.

Aww I'm sorry I hope everything works out! Praying for you!

Sweetie you have PLENTY of time for it to move.

But what's more important is that they check you for vasa previa VERY thoroughly. Be pushy and make them do it right please.

Good luck.

What does ds and dd mean? Lol

I have it too, this is my second pregnancy to have it. Last time I was cleared for vaginal delivery at 36 weeks.

They told me I had "what looked to be" vasa previa last time. I went for follow up and we found that it wasn't. I'm insisting they check for it when they check my placenta next ultrasound.

What's vasa previa?

I'm having an ultra sound in a month or so. (their scheduling it at my next appointment)

DS- Dear son
DD- dear daughter

a few others you will see around the site - Dh- dear husband SO- significant other SIL, MIL, BIL, FIL- sister in law, mother in law etc. There's a post sticky somewhere telling all the abbreviations.

Is Placenta Previa just a random occurance? It's when your placenta is where... covering the cervix? Do you need a c section because of it? Sorry I'm so ignorant I've never known anyone personally who has had it.

It's when baby implants close to the cervix and the placenta grows close to or covers the cervix. If it doesn't 'move' (it doesn't really move, just as the uterus stretches and grows you are able to tell just how close it really is) then you need a c-section. It can cause bleeding during pregnancy, as any dilation will disturb the placenta and can cause abruption. From my experience, they like to have 2cm of clearance before they will ok you for vaginal birth.

You have so much opportunity for that sucker to move mama!! mine moved at 36 weeks and I have a friend who's moved at 39 weeks. Keep your hope up!

I will thank you.
I'm just afraid it won't.
I'm terrified of having a c-section.

Also what does pelvic rest mean exactly?
Because my midwife put me on it until my ultrasound.
