T and Ps Please! ***UPDATE PG 2***

[toutsuite]

I just had an MRI to see whether I may have placenta accreta along with placenta previa. Holy ballz. I was warned to mentally prepare myself for a c-sec (which I would have anyway due to the previa and other things). I was also warned that if the scan indicated accreta, I should prepare for a hystorectomy since they wouldn't take any chances during delivery. This would be worst-case scenario. Ummm...wtf? 


Guys, I am 31. Baby is just on the cusp of being viable (almost 25 weeks). I always imagined having 2-3 kids. Placenta previa has already been a mindfuck since I have been bleeding this entire time, and now having to prepare myself for a hystorectomy...at 31??? Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly thankful and blessed to be carrying this baby, but it's a lot to come to terms with that I may not be able to have any future children. I should find out more about the MRI results next week. But in the meantime, I could definitely use any spare T and Ps you have.

ETA.  I forgot to put a "." at the end of the sentence which was hardcore bothering me.  Also ETA:  Please don't quote - may DD details later.

Sending many thoughts and prayers your way and hoping that you get the results soon.

[MamaMaui24]

Oh, wow. Thinking of you and baby. That's a lot to process. Keep us posted and take care of yourself.

[estrellita]

I'm sorry I know someone that had to get a hysterectomy after her 2nd kid and I can't remember if that was why, but it's a scary thought! Hoping everything turns out ok!

[orangeglow]

Some doctors always give worst case scenario.  They say it's so you are prepared.  I think it's just to scare the crap out of you sometimes.

I hope it's just a worst case scenario that is so rare it will never happen.  *hugs*

[imimahoney]

Lots of positive thoughts coming your way!

[Bonita]

T&P coming your way! I hope you get good news.

[ngdgtco]

Wow, that's a lot to take in. I hope you get good news!

[shekels1222]

You got all of them girl. What a rollercoaster! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. I know it's hard not to worry. Nearly impossible when it comes to something like this. But keep your head up until you know all the results


Thinking of you. Praying for you and that sweet baby.

[azurely]

Oh hon, I'm sorry you have something else to stress about :/ I'll be thinking about and praying for you!

[purrbox]

I'm sorry. Hopefully everything will be okay. Thoughts and prayers sent your way.

Hi, I'm a GotP poster from last year. I'm sorry you are going through this. In the event they recommend a hysterectomy, I encourage you to get a second opinion. I'm not sure if a high risk OB or a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist would be best suited, but definitely check to make sure there are no other options.

I hope the scan goes well and you get good news. I'll be thinking of you and your baby.

[lynn07]

I'm so sorry, that's really scary. A good friend of mine had placenta accreta. They waited until her c-section to decide best how to treat it. They told her it is a small percentage that end up needing a hysterectomy, but I know it's still a terribly scary thing to have to deal with. T&P!

[jennistarr1]

I will be thinking of you, prepare for worst hope for best

[toutsuite]

JayhawkGirl - I am already seeing a MFM and she has been the one coordiating this along with my OB. If it comes back positive I likely will get a second opinion. Often times with accreta they can't confirm until they are actually inside. FX it's nothing!


orangeglow and lynn07 - You guys are right. This is incredibly rare and statistically chances are that it is nothing. I guess I am just trying to assume the worst so that I am pleasantly surprised if things work out in my favor.

I can't help but to feel guilty. I had a uterine rupture at the beginning of the year associated with a m/c and a D&C to remove the babies and address the bleeding. Scarring is usually what leads to accreta and I can't help feeling I should have waited longer afterwards to heal b/c of the rupture. It's a catch-22 because if I had waited, I wouldn't have my little guy that I am currently carrying...Oh well - hindsight is always 20/20.

Thanks for the support ladies! FX everything will work out in my favor!

[jayded]

Hoping for the best

[MrsAggie]

Wow. That's a lot for anybody to take in. I'll definitely be praying for you. ((Hugs))

[jorja]

I am so sorry...I hope the MRI results are good news.

[pennylane]

Sending T&Ps your way. Wishing all the best for you and your little boy.

[Blue Moon]

So sorry you're dealing with this. You've been through a lot! T&P's coming your way for sure.

[luv2rn4fun]

So many thoughts and prayers being sent your way! I'm really sorry you are having to deal with all of this- it's a lot to take in on top of everything else you've dealt with this pregnancy. Hoping for the best...please keep us posted. ((hugs))

[toutsuite]

gravytrain225 - If you don't mind me asking - did you have any of the other risk factors, i.e. multiple c/s, D&Cs, other uterine surgeries, placenta previa, etc? Did you have to go through any sort of testing beforehand? My MFM said that it is incredibly rare, so I at least have that on my side, but my placenta is apparently covering the area of scar tissue that is the result of me previous uterine rupture. Was there anything in particular you did to prepare for the worst-case scenario?

[mrssandro]

Sending you buckets of T&C'S. Sorry you are going through all of this.

[MrsDarcy]

Many thoughts and prayers coming your way!
