The Phone Call
This afternoon I was in the copy room at work. I usually take my phone with me but did not today. I got back to my desk to only see 2 missed calls from the Doctors office on my cell and one on my office phone. I never like to see St. John's Clinic on my called ID because they don't call unless something is wrong. So I called the nurse back and she said Christina I got your ultrasound report today I felt my stomach drop at this point. She said you have placenta previa and we will need to see you back in the office. My brain starts to race and I really was numb. It is hard to listen when you don't know what something is or what it might cause. So I receive a long list of things to avoid or watch for in the next 2 weeks. I go back to see the Doctor and I will receive a follow up ultrasound. Sometimes I wish that I didn't know how to google things! I called my mom because she is a pediatric RN and will tell me the truth. Please keep me and my little boy in your thoughts and prayers. I hope that the next appointment will show that it has moved and everything is fine.

I had a complete previa the whole time. They kept thinking it would move up, even a little - but it was COMPLETE the whole time.
I had NO COMPLICATIONS whatsoever - until the end.
I had no bedrest, no bleeding, no restrictions to speak of.... just being careful!
Until week 34- when I hemhoraged and Owen was born - but all was well until then, so don't stress too much!
Gosh- those calls are my worst fear when I'm pregnant. You're in my prayers, just don't stress your BP up- deep breaths- God's got you both!
They told me that mine was low after my first ultrasound... and at my next ultrasound it had moved up. They told Brittany Kemnitzer the same thing and hers moved up too. I know it's a very scarey thing, but try not to worry - trust me I know that's easier said than done! Good luck and keep us posted. Please call me if you need anything at all!!
We're praying for you both!
Hang in there- we will be praying for you!!
