AH: Update on our placenta previa

[healz413]

Everything is okay with Rocky 3 but manada and I are in triage at labour and delivery because I had some bleeding (almost certainly because of the placenta previa). This is normal in previa cases but does need to be observed and monitored. We are going to be admitted for overnight and then we will see from there depending on whether the bleeding stops or continues. I might have to stay in the hospital for a while or we might get to come home tomorrow. If the bleeding were to increase significantly, then we would have an emergency c-section.
We are 36w2d (since its now past midnight) so while it wouldn't be ideal to have the baby now, we are pretty far along.

Best of everything Healz and Manada. My thoughts are with you both and Rocky 3

[wittyandwaiting]

I'm sending the three of you a ton of positive vibes! I love that the hospital and being cautious and having you stay. Keeping my fingers crossed for heathy and happy moms and baby!

I too am glad that you're in the hospital where you need to be so they can keep an eye. Thinking of you three and wishing you the best.  And also, you are an inspiration, without even knowing our conversation my wife started singing Eye of the Tiger at our IUI.     You got this, Rocky 3.

healz413 & manada - Thinking of you both and Rocky 3 and sending all the support and positive energy that I can. Please keep us updated when you can, and please let me know if you need anything. Gigantic hugs to all of you!

I'm sorry you're having to hang in the boring hospital, but hopefully you're getting out of there really quick!! Thinking of all 3 of you!!

[healz413]

Thanks everyone. It was an uneventful night and the bleeding has stopped. Rocky looked good (and big!) on the ultrasound this morning. The estimated weight (which can be way off) was 7lb12oz at 36 1/2 weeks.
We are just waiting now to meet with the OB and get a csection scheduled (most likely for next week or early the following week).

Good luck Healz! That's a BIG baby!! Glad it's stopped and hopefully stays that way. You both are getting so close. Does it feel surreal?

[JustJudy]

Sending so may hugs your way. It's almost baby time it seems, so exciting!!!

[rikkiandjulie]

Glad you're getting great care, and in a safe space. But the hospital is SOOO boring. Hopefully everything goes well and you're outta there soon.

[healz413]

So we just got our c-section date-- Tuesday Aug 18! I definitely just jumped ahead in the due date line.

healz413 - OMG! You are meeting your baby in 5 days!!!!! I am yelling with excitement - can you hear me in Canada?!?!

[mahler5]

Glad the bleeding stopped and you all are ok! That's exciting you will be meeting your baby so soon! I'll be thinking of you.
