Curved placenta ?

[eboyd83]

So had our ultrasound today. It was okay. But I struggle with anxiety and times and it's getting to me now. They asked me some weird questions so it made me feel nervous. But said everything measured good. Except apparently I have a partial curved placenta. I don't know the line medical term for it. But does anyone else have this or had? That's my question. Shame on me I googled it now I'm holy crap and anxiety ridden. We have to go back for another scan in four weeks. We will have to go at least twice more apparently for scans.

Sorry your scan made you more anxious. I've never heard of a curved placenta so I can't help there, but I hope it ends up being no big deal. In the meantime, as hard as it is, I would try to stay away from Google.

I'm glad to hear baby was measuring well! Did you get to find out if it was a boy or girl?

[eboyd83]

Oh yea. She said it is a girl. But she wasn't able to get a picture. Sorry about the double thread post I'm on my phone and didn't mean to do that. It's called circumvallate I think.

[LadyNymeria]

Congrats on the girl! Maybe tomorrow someone else will have heard of this, but just try not to Google and let your dr tell you what it means (if anything). Waiting sucks and it's really tough to just wait, but since you said you already live with anxiety I would try hard to not worry yourself more with what you find on Google.

Thanks. I see my register ob in two weeks. I'm going to try and relax till then. It doesn't help that I keep crying over everything this pregnancy. It's like oh I want hamburger helper. What we don't have any. Waaahhhhh. Then mix in my normal anxiousness

[eboyd83]

Okay wow I clearly can't type on my phone. Sorry about all the typos.

eboyd83, I also struggle with anxiety and have had some issues this pregnancy as well. Definitely call your Dr's office and ask them to explain it to you so you don't have to worry about it constantly till your next appointment. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about and they can set your mind at ease.

Also, congratulations on the little girl!

Totally normal, I think. I nearly burst into tears last night during a meeting. No particular reason, just feeling slightly tense and frustrated and BAM the waterworks.

Hopefully your OB can answer your questions. Maybe try to focus on the fact that all the measurements were normal, and that's definitely a good sign.

I second this. Google is not your friend. When my doctor called me to tell me I need another u/s because they saw a separation in regards to my placenta I freaked out, and Google didn't help. My next u/s will be next week and yes, waiting sucks, but waiting is so much harder when you look at all the worst case scenarios.

At this point, there's nothing you can do until you see your doctor, so just try to stay calm, take it easy, and focus on caring for yourself and your baby. I hope everything is OK with you and your baby.

Thanks for replying everyone. I'm feeling better today. I'm not having and bad signs so I'm just going to take it easy. But I'll also pay attention if I feel like something isn't okay.

Congrats on your baby girl. +1 for stay away from Dr Google. He's a fear monger!
