Low lying placenta/Previa mamas

in Success after IF

I know everyone's dr/widwife is different but I am wondering what your days looked like while on pelvic rest, restricted duties or even bed rest.  I am finding myself challenged by am I doing too little and can do more or should I really be doing very little.  As a SAHM I am feeling guilty. DD isn't getting as much active playtime or attention.  I am very fortunate that I have family that can be here everyday all day if I need/want it.  I know that there are plenty of mamas who have/are been on strict bed rest for long periods and in no way am I down playing it.

I am personally getting frustrated and need a reality check. Of course I will do anything I need to for this LO to keep them cooking and healthy.

Oh and if things corrected themselves, how far along were you? Or if they didn't what did the rest of your pregnancy look like?

TIA!

    I had a complete previa with my first pregnancy but it wasn't discovered until right around 19 weeks.  I was put on pelvic rest but nothing else, perhaps because I hadn't had any bleeding.  So, basically, no sex but other than that I continued to do all my normal activities.  I had another check at 28 weeks and the placenta had moved up enough that it wasn't an issue anymore.

    It's always hard to be pregnant when you have another child around who needs your attention but this is a short period of time.  Things may not be that active right now but it won't be like that forever.  Hopefully your previa will correct itself soon and you can get back to your "normal" life.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    I had placenta previa and was on pelvic rest. I was told no sex and to stay off my feet as much as possible. I still went about my normal activities. I was teaching at the time. I took a leave from my part-time retail job because I was required to be on my feet the whole shift. I also didn't exercise during that time.  I was off pelvic rest before my third trimester but I'm not sure the exact week. I also didn't have any bleeding/spotting. If I did, I would have backed off my activity even more.

    I had placenta previa my entire pregnancy. I never had any bleeding and was never put on pelvic/bed rest. Good luck!
