2nd Ultrasound

At my 1st ultrasound appointment when we found out this baby is a boy, I got a call a couple days later and my doctor explained to me that my placenta looked weird.  She said that it wasn't anything to be worried about, it was just interesting and they wanted to look at it more closely.  It was a little lower than it should be and instead of being placed on just the front or the back, it had kind of wrapped around the bottom and was close to covering my cervix which could have lead to having to deliver via c-section.  I put on the face of not being afraid or too concerned, but I was and thanks to my wonderful husband, he was able to give me a blessing and I felt better after that.

Well, my second appointment was last week and they had a specialist there to look at me and my placenta. In the room with me at different times throughout the appointment was the ultrasound tech, the specialist, one of my nurses and my regular doctor.  They all looked at the monitor and said that everything is looking good and they all were able to see that it is most definitely a boy.  The placenta is still low, but thankfully it has moved up more to where it should be sitting and it's not close to the cervix now.  I haven't been put on any sort of restrictions right now which is great, but it's still something I worry about.  Things are definitely looking better and nobody had any worries or concerns as far as I know.  I feel better now and am still trying to make sure I take it as easy as I can.  The ultrasound tech was nice and printed us a few more pictures that we couldn't get last time.
