I thought it was just braxden hicks, but my routine check up showed that it was not, I was put on bedrest for 4 weeks and then at 35 weeks they let me up. I was doing very well till my very good friend passed away when I was 36 weeks. That night I was so stressed out and shaken that I went into labor and instead of trying to stop it, they just let it happen. I had a healthy baby boy at 36 weeks. He was 6 lbs. 13 oz. I deliveded vag. My third delivered at 36 weeks also due to preterm labor. My first was also early because of severe preclampsia. 32 weeks.Karriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530586685534766630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-87184819037502348022008-06-19T11:25:00.000-07:002008-06-19T11:25:00.000-07:00May God grant you a shifty placenta. :)I also have...May God grant you a shifty placenta. :)<BR/><BR/>I also have had a complete placenta previa, with my fifth child. I experienced no bleeding during my preg., even tho that placenta remained over the cervix. I was admitted to hospital at 36 weeks as a precaution before my scheduled 37 week C-section. I was not on bedrest before that point, and even in hospital was permitted to be up and around. <BR/><BR/>As I was being prepped for the C-section in the OR, I started to feel very strange and said so. After a quick check of my BP, they realized that my placenta was separating right then and there. How providential that I was in the exact place I needed to be! Praise Him! I did lose enough blood to require three units the next day, but my precious Annalise and I were fine, and my uterus was saved.<BR/><BR/>17 months later, I gave birth to our first boy!! No placenta problems whatsoever. Praise Him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-91900117972268199962008-06-14T09:13:00.000-07:002008-06-14T09:13:00.000-07:00You are in my prayers. I had a complete placenta ...You are in my prayers. I had a complete placenta previa with my 4th child. I am not sure of the exact "type" tho. The high risk specialist terrified me with her sudden talk of hemoraging/hysterectomy - just weeks before my birth! Thank goodeness my OB was a lot more tactful and encouraging.<BR/><BR/>I am a "cervix is shut tighter than Fort Knox until delivery on due date" kind of gal. So there wasn't much fear of bleeding early, etc. as far as I was concerned. I was rather anxious during my planned (1st C-section), but my uterus was saved and the bleeding was managed so that I didn't even have to have a transfusion. God is good - don't believe the worst case scenarios <BR/>8-)<BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-69416626552037815012008-06-11T11:00:00.000-07:002008-06-11T11:00:00.000-07:00Karrie,That is good to hear.

Can you tell me why your baby was then born so early, at 36 weeks and if that was a vag. birth or a c-section?<BR/><BR/>Homemanager,<BR/>Oh, I do know what a vesa previa is and know that is an even more dangerous presentation of a complete previa. I have done tons of research this year, starting with my youngest sister having her first baby and finding out she had a velamentous insertion of the cord, which was the "worst" her OB had ever seen. It was very long, like 8 inches or more, of unprotected cord veins. Thankfully, hers was not over the cervix/under the baby and the placenta was well out of the way. The doctor was very careful about not tugging on the cord at all because of it. Then, my research turned to VBA2C's, and vesa's come up there too, as in the more c-sections you have the higher the risk of having a previa (and the risk of that previa being an acreta or vesa) in subsequent pregnancies. So, it has come up a lot in my research lately!<BR/><BR/>Praise God your baby was born safely despite such a "risky" situation. Oh yes, our God is in control!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your prayers for me/us. We are hoping and praying it will miraculously move, but also ready and confident to go down this path if this is what the Lord choses for this pregnancy. Let it all bring glory to His name!<BR/><BR/>~jerriMom of thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537459011257295414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-49516757848691001092008-06-10T14:31:00.000-07:002008-06-10T14:31:00.000-07:00Congratulations, Jerri!

I too found out that you were pregnant off of Karen's blog. :-)<BR/><BR/>After reading your post, I wanted to encourage you to look up "Vesa" previa. I delivered my 5 lb. 7 oz baby girl at 34 weeks. <BR/><BR/>I had 5 hours to process it all. It is alot to process through, but the one thing that I came away with was how utterly God is in control.<BR/><BR/>The Lord was extremely merciful to us and I know that He will be with you also during this pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>I will be praying for you Jerri and your little one! Again, Congratulations!Homemanagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13645445919199820207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-36134150713369082882008-06-08T22:04:00.000-07:002008-06-08T22:04:00.000-07:00I found you blog from the Engstrom (Karen) blog.

Thanks to the Lord, a miracle happened and it did move. Quite a bit actually. My perinatologist was extremely amazed! I delivered a healthy boy at 36 weeks. Prayer is amazing and God has great plans for you! Just keep praying and lay on your side to help that placenta move!
