Prayers Coveted

I received news today at my ultrasound that I have complete placenta previa. I was pretty devastated, even though I know that it is likely to move and make another homebirth a possibility. The 10% chance that it won't, and that I will be scheduling a c-section is very frightening. The baby looked fine (still waiting official word from the radiologist though) so that is the most important news I could have heard. I should have listened to my husband when he told me not to read about it on the internet though, I am really scared now! I will have another u/s at 28 weeks, so for a few more months I get to sit and wonder what my placenta is doing. Great :( So please pray that my uterus gets nice and large and that placenta moves out of the way, making a vaginal birth a possibility again.

Oh I completely understand your fears...
Natalie seemed to lie sideways for so long. I think it was 34 weeks before she was head down. I was really concerned she would never turn and I experienced the scary thoughts you are now feeling.
Keep focusing on the 90%.
You have statistics in your favor. Right in your 6th month as you start to get nice and big your placenta will move up.
That is my prayer.
