Q: Placenta Previa

I was originally diagnosed with low laying placenta and said not to worry as it moves up 90% of the time

i wasnt feeling good at all and just had that feeling, that something wasnt right. I went to triage and told them about pains and aches (which are worse 2nd time around and my intuition of not feeling right the dr actually listened to me. So they asked me to give blood and a urine but nothing could be found when I was about to get the okay to leave, I had three drs walk in the room and start asking me weird questions.

They were asking if I had ob-gyn (which I didnt I was being followed by gp till 7 mths) and what hospital I planned to deliver at I told them I hadnt even thought of it yet. Anyways news came quick kinda a smack in the face cause I wanted to be wrong about not feeling right (dont ask) and well I have marginal placenta previa where it only covering a part or something like that. Im on bedrest now and I miss work!!

Anyone in this sitiuation???

Not in the situation you are in, but have read up on this. From what I understand, if you rest, the placenta can actually move to the side (where I believe it should be). Also the fact that the placenta is only partially low lying, there is a good chance that you will be able to have a natural delivery.

You must be going mad though, having to sit in a hospital with little to do! How far along are you?
