Pregnancy

The first trimester went pretty well other than food aversions and tiredness, I have no complaints. We have gotten ultrasounds about every two weeks so its been nice to see the progress and has helped ease our anxiety about the health of the baby. Just came into our second trimester and we thought the big worry of M was gone… Last Friday night I stood up from the couch to find blood pouring out of me. I was sure this was the worst case scenario. We went and got mom, called our OB and headed to the ER. My OB came in, kicked the ER doctor out and was right on top of things. Turns out I have early placenta previa where my placenta is partially covering my cervix. This is normally diagnosed later in pregnancy. There is good and bad, because I am early, it could work itself out (praying for this without any other incidents) – if it doesn’t it could mean preterm labor and C-section. Not concerned about a C-section, but the preterm labor scares the crap out of me. I am on pelvic rest for a while, they are unable to tell me how long. We are going to the OB every 2 weeks now, I cannot lift over a gallon of milk, no sexual activity and basic walking. I am following the doctor’s orders the best I can, we worked too hard for this little blessing!!
