Hey. I was just diagnosed today with vasa previa. How are you and baby doing? I go soon to see a specialist and come up with a plan. I’m so scared and sick over it.
Vasa Previa
Has anyone had Vasa Previa and was able to have a healthy baby? If so what was your experience... were you admitted to the hospital and how long did you stay for? What about baby born early NICU time spent?
Just trying to find information with first hand experience. There isn’t a lot of information about it and I was just diagnosed Friday from my high risk ob since I had placenta previa already and now that the placenta has moved up some it has left the Vasa Previa. I’m terrified as a first time mom especially through ivf I want to do anything possible and listen to the doctor to make sure I can have this baby boy. My doctor is saying since I’m showing early signs of preeclampsia and my cervix is starting to shorten that I will likely be admitted at 28 weeks and 32 weeks being the latest so that way they can monitor me and try to get me to 34/35 weeks but will have a c section regardless and need to prepare for that now.

Thanks for the quick and long reply!!! It’s definitely something really uncommon so I’m so thankful to have found someone with the same diagnosis. My dr literally just called me an hour ago and I’m still crying about it. This is my second pregnancy and with my first I didn’t have a single problem. I can’t understand why or how this is happening to me!!? I’m only 21 weeks right now so I have time. Hopefully if all looks well I will make it to 35 weeks or maybe 36. I’m nervous about having a premie but like you said thank god they caught it early for us!!!! Good luck to you and baby!! Keep me updated

Baby is growing perfectly on track couldn’t ask for a better pregnancy other than this diagnosis. I was so scared at first and freaked out and kept researching everything possible. So it is normal to be terrified of the diagnosis and I still kinda am. On a good note though I have learned to accept the diagnosis and be thankful that I was diagnosed unlike so many other women that lose their babies from not knowing. I go in every week to have my cervix monitored and blood pressure but everything is staying the same right now so the plan is still to admit at 28 weeks which is only 3 weeks away and c section at 35 weeks. There is a website that has all the standard Vasa Previa treatment plan and care with faq on it so it’s so helpful. I joined a Vasa Previa Facebook page with lots of other women that have the same diagnosis and it’s great to hear all of their stories. Sorry I’m so long winded lol but I know when I first looked I couldn’t find anyone or anything.
