My Dr. called today after reviewing my ultra sound pictures to let me know how things look. She said the baby looks absolutely wonderful and seems to have quite long legs. I actually wondered because in the ultra sound pictures we got, the legs seemed very long to me... but I figured they all look that way. She said I'm still measuring perfectly for a due date of October 2nd, which is always nice to hear.

She did, however, pose a concern with me. I have a very common condition that's called Placenta Praevia. It basically means my placenta (what the baby is living in) is too far down low and just above the cervix. Its not supposed to be that way until you're due and the baby is preparing to be born. She did remind me that its very common at 20 weeks and usually by 30 weeks as the baby gets bigger and my uterus fills out, it will rise higher and not be a problem. She gave me a few warning signs to look for in the next 10 weeks and if I experience any of them, I was told to call her immediately. At 32 weeks they will do another ultra sound to see if its fix itself and if not, we'll go from there. Looks like what typically happens if it doesn't go away, is that I would be put on bed rest and then they would give me a C-section by 38 weeks.

I was quite worried until I did some research and realized its actually quite common and rarely causes major harm to the baby. So... please keep the baby and me in your prayers! We'd really appreciate it.
