No, it's not the minivan. (Sadly.) I forgot to mention earlier that the radiologist determined that we have placenta previa, or a low-lying placenta. What does that mean? Well, it means that the baby's placenta is laying across the cervix. How much, we don't know yet. This is troublesome because the cervix is how babies get out! Hmmmm...
The good news is that most of the time, as the uterus grows, the placenta moves away from the cervix and higher up into the uterus. So it may not ever be an issue for us. But there's a 10% or so chance it could be an issue, and worst-case scenario, we have an early-delivery by c-section.
Those of you who've read along with us these past couple years know that a c-section isn't my idea of a dream delivery. However, I'm resolved to not worry about this until much later when it's apparent whether or not it is a serious problem. And if having a c-section is the best way for me to have a healthy baby, then okay. I guess I should be grateful that I have months to get used to the idea. :D
Don't you worry about it either. We'll keep you posted on this issue as we go along!
