When i had finally got used to the idea of having this suprise baby, i had all sorts of ideas for my labour, such as hypno-birthing, writing a good birth plan, wanting to have as little intervention as possible and birth on a low dep suite at the hospital where i could move about and try to get the best out of the whole experience.

Then i had my 20 week scan and was told about the placenta Praevia. I was basically told that they were sorry but i would have to sit tight until 36 weeks when they will scame again and see if it had moved...although the sonographer had told me she felt that was very unlikely due to the position of the placenta.
I was told to bring my hospital bag with me to te scan as if it's still covering the os i will be admitted there and then and a c section will be booked.

So i have about 10 weeks until that scan and i just wish i knew what to expect. I feel like i can't make any plans because i just don't know what will happen, i dare say i could end up stuck in hospital for 2 weeks waiting for the c section and then a few days to recover - missing my boys and own home :( yet on the other hand i could be fine and have a natural delivery (which i am now scared about incase i bleed alot).

I feel in limbo and it's making me a bit frustrated. :wall:
I haven't seen my midwife since 16 weeks and she may well be unaware of the situation and the bleed i had, i don't have another appointment with her until i am 31 weeks cause she can't count (should of been 28 weeks), baby is very active so i am not worried but i feel very neglected by the whole system.
 
Sorry to hear you are in limbo land about what will happen. I guess the only thing you can do is prepare for the worst (longest stay in hospital) and make sure you and your boys will have the support you need if you are stuck in hospital for a while. Good luck, hope you get some answers soon.
 
Hun, I can sympathise entirely as also been in limbo land for the last few weeks...........this is my first, and probably only pregnancy - I had my heart set on a natural labour at my hospitals MW led unit, which is just lovely - I even had my reflexologist on standby to come and give me a treatment, and was so straight in my mind about it all.

I had to go for a growth scan at 32 weeks, which is when I learnt my baby is breech (despite being told he was head down for weeks), and that if he didnt turn it would change all my plans.........Im now booked for a c-section in 11 days after another scan confirmed he is still breech, but if he does turn I am back to having a natural labour, even if thats as Im being wheeled to the operating theatre :( - its so hard to focus on the birth when its still so up in the air, and cant really plan anything at home - part of me is hoping he just stays put now as I have had to focus more recently on having a c-section!!!

Limbo land is not a fun place to be!!! :hug:
 
I'm so sorry to hear that your plans are all going a bit wrong.. What a horrible thing, not knowing what's going to happen.. but I guess none of us can expect every pregnancy to be smooth-sailing.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.. I know 10 weeks is a long time to wait and if you ever need someone to talk to, we are all here for you :hug:
