...I AM ASKING FOR EVERYONES HELP AND PRAYERS...I had a sonogram last Wednesday as everyone knows. The nurse told me that I have a low lying placenta, and I've been doing some research so I'll know what questions to ask when I go see my doctor on the 16th. I'm starting to get a little anxious and kind of worried. While I found some relief today in the actual names of all the types of placenta pravia, and that I have the lowest one (just the low lying placenta).. I still found some cause for concern. I'm a candidate for 'placenta accreta'. That is where the placenta attatches abnormally due to things such as a previous c-section which I have had. With an placenta accreta, the placenta attatches itself too deeply in the uterine wall and that puts me at risk of having to have a hysterectime (sp? my uterus removed..) which I truely hope does not have to happen. So here's what I'm asking.. 9 times out of 10 someone who is diagnosed with a low lying placenta doesn't have it anymore later in the pregnancy because the placenta grows upward along with the uterus. I'm asking that everyone keep me in there prayers in hopes that this goes away as my baby grows. I also would like to ask for prayers that I do not end up having placenta accreta and end up having to have my uterus removed in order to stop a post partum hemorrage in order to save my life. Also that this does not affect the life of my child.. sometimes in the c-section the placenta may be cut when its low and this could effect my little girl. I know I'll want to still have atleast one more baby after this and I want for that to be possible. Please everyone.. just keep my daughter and me in your prayers in hopes that everything ends up normal with no complications... Thank you..

u have my prayers sgp
You are in my thoughts and prayers as well as your little girl :)
You are in my prayers. I hope that everything goes up and is ok. If you have questions, don\'t wait until your app\'t...call the dr\'s office now! It\'s ok, that is what they are there for! I do it all the time! They will understand you are worried, and don\'t want you stressed out anymore than you have to be! They might even push up your app\'t date to ease your mind!
you are in my prayers big time.
U have my prayers. I have an interior placenta and they were a little concerned, but my doc said since I was only 17 weeks at the time, not to worry because it can change so much.
You and baby are in my prayers!
you are for sure in my prayers.
My prayers are with you, and I know your fear...my placenta would not detatch itself from my uterus by itself with either of my daughters. They had to go in after it both times and the last time they didn\'t get it all. I didn\'t die...obviously...but I bled alot and they threatened me with a DNC. I made her do it manually rather than have them put me out. It will probably migrate upwards, so don\'t fret too much. HUGS!
