    I had Placenta previa and was discovered due to a big bleed and they found that I had placenta previa they right away put me in house rest and was not able to do any type of physical work, or go to work so I could rest. now I am 8 months and the Placenta did end up moving!

      @carolina.oliveria Hi ..! İt's great that you are safely in your 8th month now and the placenta has moved up..happy for you! May I know at which week of your gestation you had your first bleeding? And also, if the bleeding stopped once you started resting.. I'm at 13 weeks atm..and had my first moderate to heavy bleeding today.. on progesterone injections and medications..but very concerned..

    was just diagnosed with placenta previa and put on pelvic rest. this is my 3rd pregnancy-first was an emergency c-section due to PPROM and had a VBAC with my second. havent had any bleeding yet, not even spotting but i HATED having a c-section and am seriously praying that the placenta previa resolves itself by the time i give birth.

    I had a complete previa 5 months ago. Delivered by planned c section at 37 weeks. Never had any bleeding associated with it. Had some spotting at 5 ish weeks due to a subchorionic hematoma though. What I did have at delivery was lots and lots of bleeding. Ended up needing a blood transfusion. You can definitely feel it when you're losing a lot of blood swiftly. I thought I wasn't going to make it at one point. My vision started going fuzzy at the edges. Scary. My LO is an IVF baby and I understand this is a risk

    I am at the hospital at the moment as I had a bleeding again. This is the 3rd time I had a bleeding in 3 weeks. At my 15th week my doctor said I had low-lying placenta and had a bleeding at night but wasn't admitted. I was given progesterone. The second time was I was on my 17th week and stayed in the hospital for 2 days. And now I'm on my 18th week had a bleeding again as I had a diarrhea and causes me to go up alot and go to the toilet. The doctor incharge at the emergency said I have a marginal placenta previa. Gave me buscopan for the stomach cramps, increase my progesterone from once a day to 3 times a day. I had a myomectomy laparoscopy 4 months before I got pregnant. This was not a planned pregnancy and I am excited and worried at the same time.

My doctor doesn’t recommend bedrest as it he said it will just complicate things in birth like Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism. We already discussed that I will have a c-section for birth as most of the Gynecologists that attended me at the emergency my main Gynecologist agreed this is the better option because I got pregnant 4 months after my myomectomy.

    Thank you for the video. Wondering if it sounds like I have it? I wasn't bleeding at all but then after I was intimate with my husband there was a small amount of blood. It is now really light the next day very inconsistent spotting. I'm 24 weeks and my anatomy scan at 20 weeks came back completely normal. Does it sound like I have it, or maybe just hitting the cervix being too rough when being intimate? Thank you!!

    I had to deliver my twins early by emergency c scetion. I was in labor when it happened at 25 weeks. They believed early on that i may have placenta previa, but it had resolved. When i went into labor they mentioned i may have had a small acreta at the back of the uterus. The high risk doc believed otherwise and that the "stickyness" and bleeding could have been from how rough and quick they had to scrape things out.
    Im now terrified that if I have another baby could I die from these scars turning into an acreta?

    My child was 23 weeks gestation when born.
    He came home on a heart monitor. He kept coding and I had to bring him back to life after his was blue and not breathing. He was grey and lips blue. Heart monitor screaming. Doctors wouldn’t Beleive me!
    I called the NICU, several time as and was told “you are a new mom” AS IF I WAS Exaggerating!
    I was told I couldn’t bring him back, he was exposed to the world.
    When I finally called 911 after trying to get someone to listen to me; they could NOT Beleive what they saw after what the heard monitor said.
    Turns out his hemoglobin was so low, they could r Beleive he was even alive.
    Today he has cerebral palsy and I feel that he was neglected medically.
