First round of testing down .. A bagillion to go

So last week we got the results from our blood test (nipt)
Results came back all good and in case you missed .. ITS A BOY!!!

Today was the US day the head looks great all round and definitely closed. Brain was clearly seen and all is normal there too. She spent extra time making sure there were 2 kidneys and blood flow was good to both.

So YAY baby is good!!

However.. About and hour after my appt the Dr called me to say she had a chance to actually review my scans and they believe I may have placenta previa (this is where the placenta attached itself under the baby blocking it's exit through the cervix into the birth canal)
Because it's still a little early in my pregnancy it's possible that everything is just still "low" making look like it's in the wrong spot when it's not. We won't know til after Christmas when we have the next U/S.

So what does this mean .. A C-section for sure and extra monitoring to make sure it doesn't become detatched.

For now we will (try) not to worry and be happy about the good news No Encephalocele

  1. Thank God for a healthy baby! Hopefully the placenta hasn't made itself comfy down there and everything shifts to a better place!

  2. Awesome news!! Katie was placenta previa, it meant bed rest last month and a half of pregnancy and delivery by c-section 2 weeks early to avoid any possibility of going into labor. You still have plenty of time for everything to move, will pray for that and will thank God all looks good with the baby!!
