Pregnancy Update

Okay so I went in for an ultrasound a few weeks ago and the doctor said he thought everything was okay and that my placenta looked good and the tear was healed. We were thrilled! A few days later I went to see my OB, I was still bleeding so she decided to send me to a perinatal specialist to make sure everything was okay. She thought I was fine and told me to start doing light strenuous activities. Last Wednesday, I went to see the perinatal specialist and found out that I'm not okay. He found a subchronic tear (8 cm) in my placenta however, it wasn't in the normal spot they usually occur in which is why the other doctor didn't catch it. He seemed very concerned and told me that he guarantees that I will go into preterm labor. He said he doesn't know when but I could go into labor as early as 24 weeks. Of course, I'm freaked out that I could have this baby in a few weeks with the high risk of serious complications and low survival rate. The reason I'll go into preterm labor is that my placenta will eventually tear completely off the uterus wall causing placental abruption. This is even more serious because it is harmful the the baby and to myself. There is no treatment for this but to hope the placenta hangs on as long as possible. The specialist put me on a progesterone hormone that could help calm my uterus and maybe allow the placenta to heal. It has not been diagnosed as a treatment but it has helped some women in the past and I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Our goal is to have our baby girl sometime after June 8 (34 weeks) because the risk of complications aren't as high. Lets keep our fingers crossed. As for me, I have been put on strict bed rest until I see the specialist next week. I will be seeing him for the rest of my pregnancy along with OB. I have moved into my parents house so my mom can take care of Ella and me. It has been a blessing. She and Jordan pamper me as I lay in bed or on the couch. This experience has be extremely hard for me but I seem to be coping very well. I can't wait to get back to normal but it looks like I'll be on bed rest until our little bundle of joy is here with us.
