Q: 16wks Low Lying Placenta,ligament Pain, And Rh Neg!!

Yeek! I've got all 3 doc says I should be fine, the placenta should move upwards......Good thing I am not on bedrest, that would make me nuts! No risk of miscarriage (whew!). Ligament pain in right side. Hurt comes and goes, sometimes when sitting, and sleeping.
If you've had this how long does it continue????? Oh, yeah and i'm b- bllod type, hubby is o so rhogam it is. I am not thrilled about getting the shot. My grandma had one child (my mom, and at 30 yrs old in the late 1940's!!) she also had a few stillbirths related to "blue baby syndrome" which we all know as rh neg stuff now. I'm new to the bboard, this one seems nice, with lots of good advice. I've only gained 3lbs......Friends say i'll gain more! I'm super glad to be through the first trimester, I was bushwhacked during those months! Husband still doesn't "get it" that I can't do a full day of work, chores, and go out for dinner and a movie my energy doesn't permit. Oh well, bigger changes are coming for sure :)

I have placenta previa but it first diagnosed as low laying placent. 80% of woman start their pregnancy with low laying placenta but it moves up usually before 25-32 wks. In my case they watching me really closely I have pregnancy induced hypertension and placenta previa and yes it sucks but im on bedrest. I wouldnt worry to much it should move same as me I still have a chance but if they diagnose you they will be watching you very closely/ultrasounds every 3-4 weeks. As for rh stuff my aunt can never have kids and im positive got monkeys blood usually asian and middle eastern have same blood..............Get the shot incase you want another kid cause you will able to have this on fine but next one could have difficulties.

Sorry to hear that
i am rh negative as well, and trust me it's nothing. The shot is not painful, I mean they will be taking so much blood from you during this pregnancy that u will not even be bothered by another poke or twinge. I got my rhogam at 27 1/2 weeks, and really, it's nothing to worry about at all!!! By the way im 36 weeks and 5 days today- almost there!! Well good luck and best wishes!

Ligament pain is normal, it's actually starting back up again right about now. I'm rh negative as well, it's nothing to worry about. At 16 weeks I still had only lost weight and hadn't gained. I am actually more tired now in the second trimester than I was in the first. You're getting more done than i, hopefully your husband will understand soon. Luckily, my husband gets just as tired with me. If your doctors say you'll be fine, try to trust them, you don't need to be worrying about it.

I was also worried about not gaining enough weight because I was low-weight to begin with. But don't worry, you will gain. I have so far gained 21 pounds and I am 29 weeks. I've gained most of it in the last 8 weeks too. Just as long as you're eating right you'll be fine. Soon, you're appetite will start to increase alot if it hasn't already.

Most of you are lucky

I lost 12 lbs during the pregnancy im 25 wks and have gained a mere 2 lbs although I have a funky belly that doesnt show in the morning and does at night. With my daughter I gained about 45 lbs because I started craving gummie bears and chocolate almonds all the time.

:d thanks for all the input! I'm more cautious as to gaining weight since I already am a little overweight. The pregnancy I fear will push me into the low 200 pound range! I'm determined to not gain 65 punds like one of my friends. My doctor was definate saying the placenta was not placenta previa. I was so glad for that!! I'm hoping it moves upward, I had some strage sensations yesterday, as well as today. Sort of like when you're on an airplane, and your tummy gets that negative "g" gravity thing going.
Either that or the baby was practicing some karate.

Once I ate a whole package of red licorice. Baaaad idea, binges don't sit well with me. My husband is weary, but he's making jokes about not having sex (hey, about 27 days left!!). Like he'll not need a costume for halloween, since he has such "furry palms" already. He's such a sweetie, brought me hot chocolate and some fresh biscotti this morning. Have had some lentil soup, and will have blt's on whole grain bread tonight. I'm drinking alot more fluids today since I was dehydrated for some reason yesterday.
I had a blood draw (for the afp test) yesterday, and the residdent vampire practically had to "milk" my arm!

Other stuff......My mother-in-law is coming to visit next wendsday (eeek!). My clothes dryer died, and my new range oven knob busted off when we brought it into the house. The good news is, the new knob and dryer will be here monday. Just two days, I think I can handle that. Anyway...I am getting stuff done. Done, but slow. Good thing I am an artist, and self employed.
