Placenta Previa.. and More

So as everyone probably knows i found out i had placenta previa when i was 20 weeks. It was "full" placenta previa which means it is covering the cervix completely. I had my doctors appointment yesterday and she said the chances of a full previa moving are less likely but yes it still could happen. She prep me for the idea of c-section and that we would have the baby at 36 weeks. I wont lie.. c-section scares the crap out of me, but if its for the health of me and my baby then I'm all for it. So the ultrasound is Tuesday!! June 1st. If it is still the same then i will be on partial bed rest until we have the baby. Ill have an appointment once a week to check everything, make sure I'm not contracting and don't know it. .. etc. (If it has moved.. then I'm totally going to go exercise right after i find out! ha ha) I have been being careful.. i cant exercise or lift things heavier than Gavin.. which is fine.. it hasn't been too bad. I just know if i go on bed rest and have a c-section I'm going to be full of energy when i can finally do things! So that's the down low on this pregnancy. The weeks are going by really fast, and all i can think is Gavin is going to be two and we might have a baby all in the next 2 1/2 months! so crazy. I have gained 34 pounds so far! Ya i know its a lot.. you should see my belly! ill post a pic later on today when Brandon can take one for me.


So it could just maybe be my last weekend I'm aloud to go out and about and play with Gavin.. etc. So we might be heading to the zoo! I have been wanting to take Gavin for a while now, so that has to get done asap!

Any advice for staying calm about a c-section? I'm a little freaked out. (that's an understatement!)
