Ouch!



This pregnancy has been so trying for me. For those of you who don't know, I have had quite a few complications. It all started with getting pregnant with and IUD in, which they couldn't remove. My 18 week ultrasound discovered that I had complete placenta previa. (When your placenta is in the wrong place, totally covering your cervix) Not only that, they think the IUD is lost in the placenta.My last ultrasound showed that I have only a marginal placenta previa, but I still need a C-Section if it doesn't move....it just goes on and on.
So yesterday, I decided to go to church despite having contractions all night. I continued to have contractions through church...ouch!I ended up asking my friend Rachael to take me in to Labor and delivery, and sure enough I was having steady contractions 3-5 min. apart. So 3 hours later, and 3 labor stopping pills later, we were able to come home. So now, I am trying to take it easy as much as a 7 month pregnant mom can be chasing after 3 kids! Thanks Rachael for your help! I know Vita is just as grateful as me that he didn't have to sit in the labor room with me. Hopefully I wont be back there for at least 6 more weeks!

I was so glad to hear that you didn't have that baby yet! I swear pregnancies get harder with each one. Good luck on the rest of the pregancy and keep him in there as long as you can!
