Just need support

I went in for my ultrasound (21+5) and found out I have total placenta previa I’m devastated. But babe is healthy so that’s all that really matters here. I’m just heart broken most of my independence has been ripped away

Can you educate us? What does that mean?

@Jada placenta previa is where my placenta completely covers my cervix. Making a vaginal delivery out of the picture.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that! 😭 I can only imagine everything you’re feeling. I’m sorry that you’ve lost so much autonomy over your birth plan. But, on the other hand, I’m so happy for you that your baby is healthy and you have the information early so that you can plan and be prepared to welcome your little one safely when the time comes! Yours and baby’s health are the greatest gift we could all wish for. You’ve got this! You’re doing so great already! 💕

I haven’t had the same diagnosis yet but we do know we’re at risk for placenta/vasa previa and will be closely monitored. I’m trying to look at the positive side in that we know now and can make a plan to get baby out safely ❤️ but I know it’s hard!

@Catherine the positives are baby is growing, you’re healthy, and babe can be born safely. Those are what I see from my side. This is my third pregnancy but first high risk. I’m placed on very light duty as I have a 6 month old as well. I had to move back to my home town as I can’t travel so far anymore. (Lived 2.5 hours away) definitely not a happy thing. I had to leave my digs with my partner but they will be okay. You’ll be okay too hun. It’ll all be okay.

It can resolve in the later weeks in pregnancy. If this isn’t the case, just know that you and baby will be perfectly fine. Don’t put any strain on your body, as I’m sure you know by now. I was diagnosed with complete previa my last pregnancy and it had moved by 28 weeks I believe. I gave birth naturally, and I’ve been diagnosed with “low lying placenta” this time which is more of a marginal previa so I’m confident that it’ll move again. I’d be so upset if it didn’t, but I pray for a healthy baby and delivery for the both of us. Hugs mama 💖
