Placenta Previa


I just hung up the phone with my doctor. It is final. I am having a C-section. I have placenta previa, and it just doesn't want to fix itself. I feel a bit robbed, I have to admit. But like so many of my friends and family have offered, I need "to be grateful that he will arrive here safely."

He will be here on June 25th, 2011. That is, unless I go into labor earlier than that. We'll see. For now, I am trying to focus on being grateful, excited, and extremely blessed to have 3 beautiful children.

I am also trying hard to deal with my nesting that is kicking in. Anyone need a closet reorganized?

I'm sorry it won't be happening the way you want it to. Of course we're very lucky to have such great modern medicine, but it's also okay to feel a bit robbed! Good luck with everything!

I'm sorry Brooke. I'm sure it is hard to have that choice taken away from you! You have a good attitude though! and you look BEAUTIFUL!

Good luck with everything Brooke. I don't blame you for feeling robbed but at least it is all for the better. I'm so excited for you to have a little boy... they are so fun! You're in our prayers.

That is so ironic because the Millars used to drive a Previa! Hope everything goes well, you'll be in our prayers.
