Placenta Previa

This pregnancy has been fairly smooth with one minor hiccup.  In the middle of July, I found out I had placenta previa, which I had no idea about.  It's when your placenta covers your cervix which can be a major problem, especially when you are trying to deliver the baby.  The worst case scenario is you end up on bed rest (possibly hospital), have baby early and deliver via C-Section.  Mine was just a very mild case and the doctor hoped my placenta would move up within a few weeks.  I had to take it easy for about a month, but not bed rest.  And, my last appointment, they found it had moved up slightly!  Woo Hoo!
