My OB doctor looked at my ultrasound from my ER visit and it looks like I might have a condition called Placenta Previa. In short it is a condition where the placenta is located low in the uterus. It parlty or completely covers the opening of the cervix. It poses a danger to the mother and baby because the risk of excessive bleeding before of during pregnancy. It occurs one in 200 pregnancies. My risk is up because of the scarring from my C-section with Preston.
My placenta is lying low as of right now but with me being early in my pregnancy it could still move into the right place. They wont know for sure until my ultrasound on the 11th of April. If I do have this, my pregnancy just got very risky! God knows, and everything is continueing to look great with the baby as I had a doctors appointment today so we are just trusting the placenta will move into the correct spot. Thanks everyone for your prayers!
