At the Perinatal visit this week, I was informed that I currently have a low lying placenta. This is a condition that should correct itself over time; however, I will continue to be followed by the specialist and they will monitor this condition to make sure it does. Apparently, it is a relatively common condition but can lead to, I believe, the need for a C-Section should it not correct itself. Basically, my placenta is the first thing that would be exiting the exit hole which is not a favorable thing. I was wondering why, during my sonogram this week, they seemed so focused on my cervix and now I know why. As my pregnancy progresses, should this condition continue, it is called "Placenta Previa".
Upon further research, there is nothing that I have done wrong to create this issue and there is nothing that I can do to help my placenta move to where it is supposed to go. I guess this is another situation where the power of positive thinking and prayer fall into place. Let's hope my brain and heart can fix my placenta.
