Sam and I both went to my Dr. appointment so we could figure out what was going on and what to expect. It was reassuring to hear the heartbeat which the Dr. said was a good strong heartbeat. We, mostly I, asked lots of questions and here are some of the answers.
I am on rest for who knows how long. I dont have to lay in bed all day but if there are any optional activites that I could get someone else to do then I am not supposed to do them. I specifically asked about going to Walmart and he said optional try to get someone else to do it.
My placenta does cover part of my cervix which is a partial placenta previa, and continued bleeding is not uncommon.
Hopefully as my uterus grows the placenta will move with it. He just delivered someone whose placenta didn't look like it was going anywhere until it finally moved around 30 weeks.
If the placenta doesn't move it is an automatic C-section.
I will have a few more ultrasounds to keep checking. My next ultrasound will be right before Christmas.
My wonderful husband has been and unfortunately will continue to hold down the fort, work tons of hours, do all the shopping, and help with the kids, while I do a lot of nothing and feel worthless. When Sam teases me in the morning telling me he has to go to work because not all of us get to lay around all day I tell him I work all day and all night because I grow people, I may not be doing it very well right now but its still work, ha ha.

I was wondering what the doc said when I saw you there! That makes a lot of sense, though! I'll call you when I go to Walmart to see if you need anything from now on, just because no one likes to load up two kids and tromp in and out of there in bad weather for one gallon of milk or something, let alone if these are the consequences! At least you know what he expects now, right? I'm glad its nothing wrong with the baby!
