Need support and prayers *Rainbow baby mentioned*

ffsam31

Well, its been a while since I posted on here.  Our daughter has been gone for 6 1/2 months now, and I still think of her everyday.  We were fortunate enough to get pregnant again, and at my 20 week gender ultrasound, they discovered that my placenta is almost covering my cervix.  It was suppose to be a happy day of finding out boy or girl, and it was an amazing surprise to find out our little one is another girl ! However, I am not sure what this means.  The high risk doctor came in to take a live look at the ultrasound and said that if the placenta does not move that I will deffinately need a c-section, but I am just not sure what, if any harm, the placenta placement could have on our daughter.  I am confused, worried, and a lot scared.  I was up in the air on wether or not to post about our new bundle, but after talking to another wonderful mom on here, I agreed that I deffinately need the support.  I feel guilty at times that I have another baby in my tummy when this is where Savannah was, but we are just praying for the best right now.  Thank you all for listening and if anyone has gone through a low-lying placenta or a placenta that covered the cervix please share some advise.  Thanks again

Big hugs to you! I know it sounds scary but there is still lots of time for it to move up. This happened to me. It was low lying until my 33rd week then moved out of the way so I was able to deliver vaginally. Good news is you will get extra ultrasounds. Even if it doesn't move and you end up with a c-section, all that matters is that your baby arrives safe and sound. Try to stay positive and congrats on your little girl!

I'm so sorry you are missing Savannah, but so happy you were able to get pregnant again!  I can only hope to be where you are someday soon.  Although I can't offer any advise about a low-lying placenta, I will be thinking of you, and I have faith that you will be watched closely and if you have to deliver via c-section, so be it.  She will get here safely, one way or another.

I also had a low-lying placenta with both of our boys and it moved out of the way in the 3rd trimester. Congrats on your baby girl!

So sorry for your loss. I had the same issue when I was pregnant with my Jack and by my 30th or so week, the placenta had moved. So don't lose hope and I know it's easier said than done, but try not to stress too much. Good luck and keep us posted. Hugs.

Based on all of these posts, it sounds pretty normal! Yay for you and your baby girl.

P.S. Savannah is thrilled to be a big sister.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!  What wonderful news!  I know it must be a very scary process... we're still trying to get pregnant and I'm already terrified!  I won't even try to tell you to relax, because I imagine that seems impossible.  I'll be thinking of you and your little one in the days to come

My SIL had full placenta previa the entire way through the pregnancy.  Baby Kean (KEY-AN) was born 4 weeks early but was healthy, safe and came right home! 

It is scary but it can move up even as late as the last week, just take it easy and you and LO will do fine.

You are definitely welcome here.  Once you have had a late loss or infant loss or child loss you are not the same and it is hard to feel like you fit in anywhere else.  

I don't have any experience with your situation, but am always here to listen.

And I am sorry for the loss of Savannah.

Hugs,

First, congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope the remainder is uneventful

second, that's placenta previa and you have plenty of time for it to move. It just means that you can't deliver vaginally because you would push out the placenta first and that would be very bad. I know a lot of people who had it and theirs moved.
