(This is where the placenta detaches from the uterus and causes labor. There is no known cause or prevention.)
Im sooo depressed right now. Im being scheduled soon with a specialist who is one of the best in the state and who will work with my high risk OB to get me the care and attention I need. There will be a lot of tests, monitoring, sonograms. Oh, and they recommend I dont work, which I was just cut from my job anyway. Because theres a good chance I could spend a good portion of the pregnancy on bedrest. Dealing with this is going to take a tremendous amount of strength on my part.
Im just sitting here crying. So I have to go the next 6-7 months without knowing if I will get to keep my baby or not.
Well I have an appointment with my high risk obstetrician on thursday. I will update again later. |
Congrats and stay positive. My cousin had placental abruption with her first and went on bed rest with her second and all was well. I am happy for you and your husband.
