Onthepond try not to worry, there is still plenty of time for the placenta to move and normally they do!!
No idea about the placenta previa, hope it moves Hun.
I have been very sick this pregnancy, wasn't anything but a tiny but queasy with my boys. I have horrible anxiety anyway but it's been at peak recently I have scratched myself to bits with itching which I think is caused by stress lol! Also keep getting dry retching moments even at nearly 22 weeks like you guys, certain smells etc :-( Urgh!
Thanks, I have not heard that about the reset but tbh I think I am most likely having another little boy which is why I'm happy to stay team green. Not ready for the girl dream to be over yet!
Two so sorry on your other loss, no wonder you are so anxious. I'm sure she is a shexxxx
Just got back from my dr visit - I have complete placenta previa meaning the entire opening to my cervix is covered by the placenta. My dr said the placenta is literally right on top of it. Outlook for it moving doesn't sound good - have another ultrasound at 27 weeks (8 weeks from today). PLEASE ladies, say a prayer for me and baby if you'd be willing. I just need to be able to enjoy this pregnancy a bit and not be scared every minute.
I hope you're all doing better than I am today!
At 19 weeks I was told I had a low lying placenta - I guess anything within 2cm of the cervix. I was supposed to have another scan at 28 weeks but my doctor decided to wait until 32 weeks so in the next 2 weeks I'll know if it moved. From what I read (I was freaking out too!) it is less likely for a full previa to move, but it still sometimes does. I also don't really remember reading much about it being bad for the baby. I just think you may get instructions to be more careful (no sex, no working out, etc.) Although I was told like 99% mine would move, I'm still scared as my placenta is also anterior.. which means if I do need a c-section it's a lot more complicated because they basically have to cut through the placenta to get to the baby which can cause so many issue. Gah, feeling sick thinking about it. I have my fingers crossed for both of us that we are okay!!!Quote:

Had 20 week scan - no peeking! Tho dh did and thinks he may have seen scrotum! I will now pester him with loads of potty shots to determine what he saw lol
two1984 - Welcome! Congrats on your little pink bundle! I really can't say I relate to the feeling of tempting fate by buying pink stuff...I'm having my 4th boy! BUT, if I ever to get pg with a girl, I think I will understand. :) Try not to be anxious...just enjoy your sweet little one and this pregnancy! Congrats again!
Soar - Hope you're enjoying the high of finding out pink. Aaahh, I hope it's me one day. I will probably buy every little pink or purple outfit I can get my hands on...so hard to even wrap my head around the possibility after 4 boys. Enjoy every moment!
Black&gold - Fx your placenta continues to move up. Mine did with DS1...pretty sure that when it's not a full previa, the likelihood is excellent for it to move. Don't worry!
Onthepond - I am so sorry to hear about your previa! Assuming it doesn't move, that means a C-section, right? Have your other births been c's? Will pray for you and your sweet little one!
Waiting4Daisy - So glad your scan went so well. WHY did DH get to look but not YOU?? Lol! Was it an accident? Anyway, scrotum but no penis may just mean swollen girl parts. Holding out hope for you!!
AFM - Doing fine. Still only feeling minimal movement, but definitely can tell when I am feeling him...I'm hoping that maybe he's a laid-back little guy. My DS2 is, and I just love his sweet little self!! He is so much easier than my other 2. :) Of course, DS2 is never in a hurry, including with learning to be fully trustworthy when it comes to potty issues. He mostly has trouble at night...he still wears pull-ups to bed (turned 4 in August), and couldn't care less about staying dry. Honestly, he pees THROUGH them half the time. Urrrrghh, so frustrating. But he is a sweet pea other than that!! Maybe this little guy will be laid back without the potty issues. A girl can hope!
Onthepond-if you have a c section it's not terrible. I have had 2 and will have a other with this baby as well. Here are some positives in case it comes to that...baby is perfect no bruising or dents since they don't pass thru and get squeezed! Also you can look pretty with your hair done and make up on for that first picture! I know these are all vain comments but you gotta find the positive in everything! :-) stay strong hopefully it will move!!!
Rainbow-oh I know about the potty issues! My DS1 will NOT wipe after he goes number 2! I am beside myself on how to teach him to do this! He screams mom mom mom I need your help mom mom mom. I'm done come help me mom mom mom! Ugh....when will he figure this out and how do I get him to do this by himself?????
I just went to a consignment store as a seller for the first time! So far so good! I need some room in this house! So far my total is $63 and there are two more days!!!!! Come on buyers come get my junk!!!!
HI hope everyone is doing well?
Black and Gold - I had no idea that anxiety could be pregnancy related. I have the same most mornings too and and can never find a good reason for it. Its horrid, and I hope it goes away soon for both of us. It is keeping me awake at night now too, so tiredness isn't helping. I really hope your placenta moves out the way, at least you will get to see baby again at the scan.
Onthepond - SO glad baby is looking good, but so sorry to hear about your placenta previa, how worrying. My SIL had it with her twins and had to have a csection because of it. Everything was fine and she speaks very highly of the birth too, it was much better than the normal delivery she had with her first. I will pray for you that your placenta is one of the ones that moves though!
Myrainbowgirl - congrats on your fourth boy. That is so special. I am one of three girls and we had a great time growing up. I actually cried when this one wasn't a boy because I was so convinced it was and my boys want another brother - I was sad for them. They still say they don't like girls... sigh. With regards to tempting fate, i think it is more to do with the miscarriage I had at the start of the year. I stupidly never would have thought something would go wrong at 17 weeks and we would lose the baby, I am just so worried that the same will again :( The due date of this baby is 3rd feb '14 and we lost the baby on 4 feb 2012 - which really isn't helping at all. I think I really need to get a grip and quit being so negative.
Waiting4daisy - good job not peeking but how funny of your husband to look! It was me peeking at our 21 week scan and my husband with his eyes shut! i thought I saw a penis at some point, so imagine my surprise when we found out it is supposedly a girl.
Scan tomorrow morning and I am nervous, which is crazy. Baby was fine a week ago, so no reason for anything to be different. But I am worried..! I used to love the scan appointments with my boys, now they just make me nervous :(
Myrainbowgirl - DS1 just turned 5 and he still wears nappies at night, he has zero interest in being dry at night! So frustrating and we have tried all sorts to get him to stop needing them. So lazy! He also refuses to wipe his bum after number two and yells for me! grrrr.. He had been potty trained since he was nearly 2 so I have no idea why this is taking so long! If you find an answer let me know. It looks like DS2 isn't going to be much better, he is 2 and is potty trained. However, he demands a nappy to do his number 2 in. I don't really understand it because he is happy to sit on the toilet to do his wees! Nursery are at a loss too. I have visions of still having a 5 year old asking for a nappy to poo in, and a teenager still in nappies at night, can you imagine??
Urgh fir the number two issues ladies! DS1 still wants me to do it at age 5.5 but have managed to scale down my involvement to checking:) i herad about a psychological issue some kids have with their poos dropping into water the way it does on the loo. At the time I thought it was nonsense but maybe not? How about putting a nappy liner in a potty and seeing if they will use that. It means you just have to lift the liner and then wash the potty rather than having to wash actual poo off!
All i know about placenta previa is that they monitor you more closely and pretty much always do a C section. If that is what happens it will be controlled, safe and you will have peace of mind for you and your baby. Victoria Beckham has chosen a ceasarian every time so they must have their advantages!
