Vasa Previa

Jennifer

Just a PSA please please ask your doctor to check for this! I was told at 20 weeks I had an extra lobe on my placenta. At 32 weeks I was told it looked fine...it was connected to the main placenta.

At 33 weeks to the day I had a massive bleed and was taken to my delivering hospital by ambulance. They transferred me to another hospital 3 hours from home.

When the second hospital did a scan they immediately noticed my cervix was totally covered by the blood vessels connecting the two lobes.

I'm currently still in the hospital and will deliver at 35 weeks by c section. If they had not found the previa...the outcome is rarely positive.

Praying everything goes well next week and our baby and I are healthy!
