December 21, 2016 at 5:00 amI'm not really sure which category to post under. This pregnancy has sure been up and down. I'm high risk just because of my previous losses, one being second trimester. I'm currently 14 weeks along and have been on modified bed rest for subcorionic hematoma. It is doing fine, they aren't worried about it. I'm having all tests done available because of my previous losses. The ultrasound came back fine when they were checking for downs. My MartiniT test came back normal. But, the blood test with my ultrasound came back that I have extremely low PAPPA. They don't think it's a trisomy since those came back fine and the ultrasound looked good, but they are doing further tests to do more accurate tests. They think it's probably going to be a problem with my placenta. They said I could have a multitude of placental problems, like placenta abruption, previa, and much more i really don't even remember. It could cause me to lose the baby or have preterm birth. I am really scared now, but trying my best to hold it together. Have you ever heard of anything like that? Hopefully someone had gone through it with a good outcome. I really, really want to bring a baby home and not bury another one!!

March 31, 2017 at 5:47 pmI had placenta problems later in my pregnancy also, The Doctors took great care of me and my baby girl. I also was High Risk. I did end up having my little one early due to the plencenta problem and her not getting enough of what she needed to keep growing. However the Doctors let me keep going for as long as I could to carry her and then when they was seeing that it was more stress on her than they like they decided it was time to induce me to go ahead and have her for at that point she would do much better out of the womb than in it. I did make it to the 35 weeks before that happened. which was a blessing cause it was touch and go a few weeks prior to that but was successful in making it to that long. I went to the hospital when they told me it was time they induced me and gave me an epideral which they said I needed to have just in case they would have to do c-section if vaginal delivery would be to much stress on her to have that way. Well lets just say the epideral in my case didn't work they tried it twice and failed both time and before they could get a different Dr. to come and try it a third time. Just after the Dr.s check to see where I was on dilation they just left the room and it was like ooooh she's coming now lol hubby ran out for the dr.s and they barely made it back in room when she was coming and it went really fast for me and I got to have her naturally after all; like I wanted. She did need to be in the NICU unit only because she weighed 2 lbs 6oz because of the plecenta problem. The Hospital I went to had the best NICU ever and took it very slow with putting the weight on her which is what was needed and a month later once she was 5 lbs and closer to the time that she would have been if I would have carried her to full term; I was able to bring my little one home. She's is now 2 yrs of age and doing great

Not sure if your plecenta problem is the same as mine but I do hope this helps relax you and help you feel better about it. Heads up thou, I did end up having to go to hospital every other day near the end for them to keep an even closer watch on her to know when it was time for them to say hey its that time so prob will end up feeling like you spend more time there than home when it gets closer to Delivery Day. All worth it thou just to have my beautiful little Angel in my arms.
