Hi all!
I just wanted to update you on how my pregnancy is going. I've actually had problems. I haven't been able to be online much because I was put on bed rest. I'm still on bedrest. I'm having bleeding that is not stopping. I've had couple of ultrasounds and the baby is fine it's just me who is bleeding. The placenta is close to the cervix which is causing the bleeding. The condition is called marginal placenta previa. There are difference degrees of previa and mine is marginal but it's still causing me to bleed. It has caused a lot of worry but we are trying to stay positive. Tony has done an outstanding job here at home running the house since I can't do anything now. I don't know what I would too without him. He is taking care of our son, our dog, the house inside and out, the meals, MakeupTalk and all his other business stuff plus bringing me food and drinks and driving me to the doctors all the time. He is an amazing man! Not too many men would be able to deal with such a load of stuff and still stay in great spirits. He just does it all without any complaints. We are going to go see a perinatologist this week for a second opinion about my condition since I'm considered a high-risk pregnancy now. Finding out about this condition was such a shock especially since I was fine with my first pregnancy. I worked until the day I delivered and felt great. I feel like a first-time mom now that I don't know what's going on with my body and I'm just starting to learn about all this and make sure I get the best care possible. I'll keep you posted on how things go. Hopefully I don't have to stay in bedrest for much longer! It's tough when you can't do anything and you have to rely on other people for everything. It's a very humbling experience. I can't imagine women who have to stay in bedrest for their entire pregnancy. I hope it won't happen to me. I'm at 15 weeks now. We are hoping as the uterus grows the placenta will move up and the bleeding will stop by 20 weeks but nobody knows for sure if this will happen.
