I found out I was having a girl and that I had a velamentous insertion at my 20 week scan as well, so I totally get how you're feeling today. I don't have placenta previa, so my situation is a little different, but I totally get the stress &amp; worry that accompany that sort of surprising news. I've talked to my docs 'til they're sick of me, and I've done so much research on insertions and c-sections, and we are in good hands! We are incredibly lucky to live in a country and time where these things mean basically nothing but extra monitoring &amp; caution -- we can and will have healthy deliveries! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-557146 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:04:23 +0000 GreenThumb 557146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Thank you! At least I feel like after going through IVF/infertility, I can get through anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-557134 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:58:15 +0000 swedishfish 557134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You went through two rounds of IVF, this is just another bump in the road. I know what you mean though - I thought the actual pregnancy would be a cakewalk after IVF. Your doctors will make sure you and your baby are safe.</p> <p>Congratulations on your baby girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-557133 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:58:10 +0000 GreenThumb 557133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. jacks: @runsyellowlites: @lemondrop: @mrs. pen: @yellowbird: @alivoo01: @msmini: Thank you ladies so much for your support. It is tough when things like this come up out of the blue, but I know we will be well cared for, it is really good to find out early, and I am sooooo excited about having a little girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556926 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:27:27 +0000 MsMini 556926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on having a little girl! I know there is a lot of negativity out there about c-sections, I had an emergency one (and will have planned ones with future LOs), and no matter how your baby is born, it is a wonderful experience, because that is your experience. </p> <p>A lot of people worry about bonding/breastfeeding etc, and I know in my case we are still EBFing at 9 1/2 months old, and my little guy is as bonded with me as he could possibly be. </p> <p>No birth is "better" than any other, everyone has a different set of circumstances and a different story. We even got some awesome c-section birth pictures (my DH is a photographer). Talk to your provider, since your c-section is planned, you can probably arrange some "perks" that make having a c-section an awesome birth experience for you and your baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556925 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:27:06 +0000 Alivoo01 556925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on being Team Girl!! Sorry you're going through a rough patch, but at least you'll be closely monitored and 37 weeks isn't too far away. It'll be here in a blink of an eye! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556911 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:16:01 +0000 yellowbird 556911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your baby girl!! No matter how you have to deliver you will have the best gift ever at the end of it all. The worrying never stops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556906 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:14:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: I have a friend who had placenta previa and she had her baby at 34 weeks. It was hard for sure, she had a c-section too. He was in the nicu for about 4 weeks and he is now thriving and doing great! You can make it!</p> <p>I'm sorry you're going through this though. It's always scary when something unexpected happens like this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556898 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:09:28 +0000 lemondrop 556898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your Lil girl! I missed your bfp- so exciting! </p> <p>The ultrasounds were my favorite part of pregnancy, you get to know your baby a little more each time. Sending you happy and healthy thoughts for your second half. Your experience would be interesting to write a guest post about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556887 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:58:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: It may have been that your uterus had some factor that made implantation really difficult so that you were predisposed to a previa (and made pregnancy really hard in the first place-- in other words IVF and previa could go hand in hand?)... </p> <p>But you'll know your baby's birthdate ahead of time and will be able to plan for it...</p> <p>And... you are pregnant, which is a wonderful thing :)</p> <p>You can do this mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556886 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:58:28 +0000 runsyellowlites 556886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on finding out you're having a girl! YAY!</p> <p>I don't have any personal experience with the velamentous insertion or placenta previa BUT like @Mrs. Jacks pointed out you'll get lots more pics of bebe AND thankfully it was caught early so they can prep for a safe delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556883 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:54:41 +0000 GreenThumb 556883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thank you! Viability has been on my mind lately and we are so thankful that we are close! I'm headed to the OB this afternoon, so we'll get more info. I thought once the IVF was successful we were through the rough part... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556878 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:52:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww honey... I had a velamentous insertion. The bright spot is that as you get closer you will have US's every week and that's always fun. I have a million pictures of Lala! And you are already at 20 weeks, so rapidly approaching viability... another great thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/complete-placenta-previa-total-shock-here#post-556875 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:50:43 +0000 GreenThumb 556875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow - I've just been thrown for a loop. We just had our 20 week scan (I'm 20w5d) and it sounds like I have complete placenta pre via (the placenta covers the cervix entirely) and a velamentous cord insertion so there is zero chance of delivering vaginally and I will have a scheduled C-section at between 37-38 weeks. Whoa! Totally shocked! I'm glad they found this early and it seems like they will watch me/baby closely to make sure nothing bad happens. We are thrilled to find out that we are having a baby girl (yay!!!!), but feel like the fertility/pregnancy gods are not smiling on us (I went through 2 IVFs before getting pregnant).<br /> I could really use some cheering up :(. </p>
