Placenta Previa

Hi moms! I was just diagnosed with Placenta Previa at my 20 week ultrasound. While the Dr. did say this could clear on its own before delivery, which would mean I could deliver vaginally, I'm nervous it won't. Also, I forgot to ask if I'd be able to fly at 29 weeks for my prepaid Disney vacation! My next ultrasound isn't for 6 weeks! Anyone have experience with PP?
Re: Placenta Previa
Also so please read the “read first” post and introduce yourself
1) There are literally thousands of women giving birth in December all over the world. And if you see our intro thread, you'll notice that we have a couple hundred who have already introduced themselves and joined this group--some more active than others, but there's the potential for every single one of them to post. If people post things pertaining just to themselves in a one-off thread, instead of in the appropriate thread, that'll make things ripe for chaos, and then NO ONE will get their questions answered, because their posts will just keep being pushed down by others who post after them.
2) What you also need to keep in mind is that much of this group has been on here since the very beginning--around weeks 5 and 6, and we've taken the time to get to know each other and support each other through our pregnancies. We're open to new people always, and love it when new people join, but it is a bit off-putting when someone comes in and doesn't even bother to introduce themselves or read the guidelines that are clearly marked or get to know anyone, especially when we're all given three days to scope out the board and see how it's run before being able to actively participate. You had plenty of notice to read the guidelines, to see if other people were talking about your experiences, and to figure out how to go from there--we have a high risk pregnancy thread, a question thread, an anatomy scan thread...all of which cover what you're dealing with.
We're meant to be a supportive group, but we're also trying to be prepared to handle vast quantities of women, all of whom are dealing with a variety of issues--and in order to support everyone, yourself included, we have rules in place to help with that, so that we CAN actually support you. I'm sorry if you think that's something you don't want to be a part of. If it is, and you're willing to give it a shot and learn, welcome. If not, and you're not willing to take the time to learn the rules and guidelines or get to know others, then we wish you all the best in your pregnancy.
