No complications at all, they just had to check his blood sugar for the first 24 hours and it was fine every time. Like @Mrs. Jacks: mentioned, I had the umbilical flow monitored and it was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175861 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 09:30:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1175861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I think that makes the risks much lower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175818 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:39:02 +0000 Bao 1175818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ok thanks, I do remember her checking the umbilical flow and she said looks great so hopefully that's a good thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175813 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:34:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1175813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you know what placental lakes are, but they are maternal blood pockets within the placenta. Hopefully they also looked at umbilical artery flow and are sending you just to monitor for growth. There is a spectrum of significance... From nothing to bigger complications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175779 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:45:27 +0000 Bao 1175779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: how small was he? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175774 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:38:15 +0000 skipra 1175774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was mentioned when I was pregnant with DS but not until very late in the pregnancy when they were concerned with his size and looking to see if anything was wrong with the placenta. I don't know for sure that I had it (no one made a big deal about it), but DS was 100% fine, just small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placental-lake#post-1175758 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:12:00 +0000 Bao 1175758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever heard of this? I had my ultrasound yesterday and a few hours later they called me back saying they are referring me to maternal fetal medicine because something didn't look right with my placenta. They mentioned "placental lakes" in addition to a couple other things but my mind was elsewhere because I was trying to take in what they were saying. I'm assuming since they didn't send me to the hospital that day that it's nothing to panic over, but I'm still worried. If anyone has experience with this please chime in! </p>
