  • We made it to the halfway point! Come along with us to our 20-week anatomy scan. It was so beautiful seeing our baby moving around and hearing that everything looked healthy and perfect ❤️... But our doctor delivered some completely unexpected news about the placenta that changes our birth plan. I now have a diagnosis of Placenta Previa.
    This video is honest as we share exactly what the doctor told us, what this means for the second half of the pregnancy, and how we're processing this new big concern. As always, we hope sharing this helps other parents who may be going through a similar situation.
    If you’ve experienced Placenta Previa or have any advice, please share your thoughts and support in the comments below. We read all of your comments and appreciate your love so much!

    Thank you guys for the uplifting messages. We’re trying hard not to worry but of course it’s hard. Biggest fears right now are having bad bleeds/hemorrhaging over the next couple of months and baby coming too early. If you can send us prayers/ good thoughts/ vibes that neither of those things happen, we’d greatly appreciate it! Nothing else really matters other than safety.

    At 16 weeks with my 7th child I had massive bleeding all of sudden that sent me to the emergency room. I was also diagnosed with placenta previa that covered my entire cervix. Put on bed rest for a while ( I somehow managed this with 6 other kids!)and eventually my placenta moved up away from my cervix and I had a successful vaginal birth. She’s now a beautiful 24 yr old with a masters in electrical engineering! Keep the faith!

      I had placenta previa with all my kids it moved up eventually and I have retro-verdo uterus. I did deliver a dead 22 weeks or so baby, he had died in the womb I had had problems since day one. They didn't let me see it. They gave it back for burying him though. I don't know why this pregnancy had gone wrong all the others were fine. The doctor said maybe the baby had big problems but it wasn't proven...

      I had two miscarriages and then got pregnant third time. I started to bleed before my first trimester was over. Dr. put me on bed rest. The placenta was covering it too. Within two weeks it went away on its on. My baby boy was born healthy at 9lbs. 7 ounces. You will be fine. God bless you

  • @judieloveday1643
    @judieloveday1643 Month ago +818

    A planned c-section is so much calmer than an emergency one. Trust me on this! It's OK to mourn when your baby's birth is different than what you had envisaged. In the end, though, as long as the baby is safely delivered, it really doesn't matter how he got here.

    • @melissamurray1712
      @melissamurray1712 Month ago +46

      This is interesting to me. I had an emergency c-section. Which I found stressful after 36 hours of labour. But I never mourned not having a vaginal birth. Just happy to have a healthy baby boy.

    • @stephanieann6622
      @stephanieann6622 Month ago +27

      ​@melissamurray1712it's different for each mother. It's just like when they tell you not to beat yourself up if you don't have an immediate connection to the baby once it's born. Everyone reacts differently!

    • @ThePasinis
      @ThePasinis  Month ago +150

      Thank you! I personally don’t have a problem with having the c-section itself. I was always at peace with that option and had mentally prepared for labor ending up either way. Especially given I’ve already had so many abdominal surgeries. I think it’s more the possibility of not laboring at all that was surprising/shocking to me. I’ve always been curious about what the laboring experience itself was like. Especially when compared to endo. However, that’s a minor concern compared to other bigger issues. I’m more focused on getting both me and baby to the finish line without something bad happening. That’s what’s stressful/ causing fear right now.

    For our IVF baby born in February, my wife was diagnosed with a complete previa at the 20-week anatomy scan. We ended up cancelling travel plans that we had that week to fly to DC for a short "babymoon." By the time we made it to 32 weeks, the placenta had completely moved, causing no issues with a vaginal birth. It is something to monitor, but, as long as Jessi doesn't exert too much, it all should be good! This is definitely something that is best to not get into a Google anxiety spiral, as you will only be reading the worst case scenarios.

    (Ultrasound Tech here) Yes, everything the UTS tech said is correct. Jessi, definitely try and relax, chill out, absolutely no heavy lifting, yes you will get another UTS. In many of these PP cases, they usually get resolved as the uterus grows, because the placenta moves away from the cervix. So for now, please rest, chill and no heavy lifting. Alessio lift those Christmas gifts!

    Hello Jessi and Alessio, My name is Ginny. My husband and I have been praying for you for quite some time. I'm a NICU nurse for 45 years and I also had a complete placenta previa 35 years ago. I had a C-section at 34 weeks after a couple bleeding episodes. My daughter was in the NICU for a couple weeks but did fantastic. She was, and still is, a strong and fiesty little lady. I'm sure you're in very good hands with Alessio and your obststrical team.

    My daughter is currently pregnant with identical, twin boys, and is approximately 23 weeks. At her anatomy scan. They also determined that she had placenta previa and told her that she would have to have a C-section and they did not want her to go beyond 36 weeks. At her last visit, they determined that her placenta has moved a little, and there is still a chance that it will correct itself so we are hopeful praying for a healthy pregnancy for both of you

  • @TRoxy56
    @TRoxy56 Month ago +23

    Please do as little as possible. I overdid my bed rest from 17 weeks on and had to deliver via emergency Csection early. I had the preclampsia, placenta previa, IUGR, high blood pressure. It’s worrisome, but God will get you thru. Just take it easy. Want baby to bake as long as possible. 😀 Take this time and allow your Hubby to wait on you. Chill out, read to baby, listen to good music, watch your fav movies and shows, eat yummy foods, walk and get up slowly.

    I had placenta previa right over my cervix. I meditated every day visualizing the placenta moving up out of the way. 2 weeks before birth I had a scan again and it moved way out of the way. I had a home birth no issues. It can and does move a lot of the time. Wishing you positive thought for this to happen 🙏❤️

    Praying for a safe delivery for you and your baby. I had full placenta previa a year ago and my beautiful daughter just turned 1 and is the most adorable (quick and feisty) baby girl now. Take it easy and try not to stress, there is so much that can be done medically to ensure safety for you both now. I made it to 34 weeks before having a few bad bleeds, was on bed rest at the hospital to try and extend her time in utero, and had my c-section at 35 weeks. She was perfectly healthy so tiny (5 lbs) and adorable. Latched immediately and never needed the NICU. All the stress was completely worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat, good luck!

In the end when he did come, he was perfect, everything had resolved itself and he's now a happy, strong and thriving 15 year old boy who is man sized and taller than his mother.....and he tells me that every day!!

  • @kristinsalerno8591
    @kristinsalerno8591 Month ago +8

    La fortuna… so many amazing things, my friends. The baby’s healthy, Jessi is healthy, the heartbeat is strong, and a really important piece right now to know is that there are so many advancements in maternal health and baby health that even if this baby comes early, or if you end up having complications with the placenta, the doctors are so aware of how to help. I know I’m not you and I know it’s scary with the first - our first was nine weeks early and she is thriving and amazing and super strong and healthy. This is because technology really helped. The doctors know how the baby was doing, how I was doing, and when she needed to come out. Sending lots of love your way! You’ve got this!

  • @Deb-U64
    @Deb-U64 Month ago +22

    I was a complete previa with my third child and also had mostly scar tissue from having cervical cancer surgery prior to that pregnancy. It put me in a very high risk category BUT....she had a growth spurt in the 8th month and it moved completely out of the way. I delivered normally albeit 2 wks late. I went through transvag ultrasounds every two weeks. I pray all goes well for you.

    I had unexpected bleeding at 11 weeks with my second child and I was terrified. I had just gone through two early miscarriages and was afraid it was happening again, but it turned out to be placenta previa. The doctor told me that I could bleed for the rest of the pregnancy, but I didn't! Four weeks later I had an ultrasound and the placenta had moved up very comfortably high in my uterus and everything went so well that he was eleven days overdue. 🙄 He's now 28, married, and a father of two boys! May God bless you with a very healthy pregnancy and I'll pray that your placenta moves right on up there!

    @kldoss89 Month ago +16

    I'm not a mom but as the youngest of 7 kids, I am a professional aunt so I've seen just about every type of birth you can get. Trust me when I say if you HAVE to go the c-section route, planned is soooo much better! Emergency ones are way scarier, even when the emergency is "minor" and they're doing it out of abundance of caution. But I am happy to see that you are acknowledging your sadness and holding space for it. So many people will say a healthy baby is all that matters, and in some ways that is true. However, it is important to let yourself grieve the "what could have been" moments as they come. But no matter what happens, just know you have so many strangers on the internet praying for you!

    I had bleeding at 5 months with my first child. They said I had placenta previa. They told me as the uterus gets bigger that the placenta would move up and resolve. Last scans showed it moved up and it was fine. At birth I was in labor for two days trying to have natural birth to no avail. Ended up having a Csection. It was upsetting because I wanted natural birth but what’s more important, a healthy baby. Every thing is going to be ok. Do not stress. Enjoy your pregnancy and eventually you baby will be here before you know it.

    • @thegoodnuz9947
      @thegoodnuz9947 Month ago +27

      I had four girls all by Csection. All my pregnancies I had preeclampsia and all were a week or two early. My second I had a tear in the amniotic sac. By the time I delivered her via Csection there was hardly any fluid around her. Csections aren’t bad. I too wanted to have natural births. Couldn’t even try a VBAC with second due to low fluid. Was very disappointed with both my first and second birth. My third though was scheduled and honestly it was less stressful going in because I knew the deal and it was smooth sailing. My attitude towards it was a little more positive and by my fourth birth it was very positive. It’s all about mindset. Stay positive! It doesn’t matter how they get here just that they are healthy and both mom and baby are safe. Also my first delivery was so upsetting because my daughter was born with no toes on her right foot from what they say is a constriction band that fell off placenta and wrapped around her toes. It the size of a piece of hair. Then she had jaundice so bad that she was under the bili lights for a month. My first three had jaundice each having it a little less. My fourth didn’t because she has the same blood type as me. My older three had their father’s blood type, which causes Coombs blood. So my pregnancies and births were crazy, but today I have a 23, 19, 17, and a 9 year old. All girls (my poor husband) lol. All healthy. And that is what matters!!❤

      I had bleeding at 7 weeks and 7 months and was told the same. I was in labour for 2 days but minor cramps because my water hadn't broke and the real pain comes after the water breaks. I did have a natural birth and fast once my amniotic sac was broke. No meds. I had some issues afterwards but it resolved after 8 weeks and a trip to the hospital. Medicine is great nowadays.

    I had placenta previa with my daughter, unfortunately it didn’t resolve, and I began bleeding at 35 weeks exactly and had an emergency c-section the next day. My daughter is healthy and I was so grateful for modern medicine that we were both safe! It’s not the end of the world but was definitely not what I had planned when getting pregnant. I hope yours moves, but everything will be ok if it doesn’t!

      My first birth was twins with a c-section and 5 weeks early.. it was a planned surgery because my babies were transverse. This was 1981. It went well.
      My second birth was one baby and I bled the whole pregnancy. I had a C-section with him also. Even though I was exhausted from the bleeding during my pregnancy everything was fine. Now after two C-sections I can't imagine having to push a baby out. I realized that having a planned C-section is so much better then have an emergency C-section. The doctors and the hospital were more prepared to handle the birth.
      I think you are lucky to have so much technology to make sure you have a safe birth. I pray everything goes well I feel like you are in good hands. God bless we are excited for you!!

    Same thing happened to my sister with her first. She has endo and has had surgeries, too, because of it.
    She gave birth 10 minutes after getting to the hospital because she kept waiting for that excruciating pain everyone described, but it never came. 😂 I guess that is the one time she was glad for the endo!!

    Hi there! Please do not worry too much about this, it is so often this gets diagnosed so early (more often so in IVF babies), in most cases it resolves itself by week 26-28-30. I personally had this with my first son, with slight bleeding for 3-4 weeks (the shock and stress is bad no matter how much you know about this) but it stopped eventually and my son was born healthy, we just ended up having a C-section for completely different reasons. With my second son I had stronger bleedings intermittently for almost 12 weeks even though I did not have a placenta preavia, and still we were lucky and he is now 10 months old. So, keep having faith, pray and stay positive! Best wishes and Happy Holidays!

    Please Take it easy, enjoy some down time. I had an emergency c-section 28 years ago. My brilliant beautiful, amazing daughter has been a blessing. I was so lucky, the c-section was not too bad . In my case much better than the labor pain. Having that lovely little baby at the end really helped. I continue to pray for an easy delivery and healthy mom and baby.

  • @Amy-jc5mo
    @Amy-jc5mo Month ago +41

    I had a planned C-section with my second baby, and it was wonderful! It helped heal a lot of the birth trauma I had with my first baby.
    The staff treated me so kindly. The atmosphere was so calm and peaceful, even for an OR. The doctor allowed me to play whatever music I chose, so I could listen to music that soothed me. When my daughter was born, they put her right up to the side of my face where I could see her, and I bonded with her instantly, even if I couldn't hold her. We snuggled cheek to cheek for a little bit. Then my husband went with the baby and snuggled and bonded with her, while they were finishing with me. It was such a beautiful birth!
    I will pray that if you have to have a C-section, that yours will be just as beautiful. Keeping you all in my prayers!

    • @Jasonslittlesister1
      @Jasonslittlesister1 Month ago +2

      This sounds wonderful! If we had another child I would have done the exact same thing!
      I had a very traumatic, preemie (32weeks) first birth experience with my son, where 95% of the people in the hospital were rude towards my husband and me.
      It was our first and we haven't had the chance to visit birth-classes!
      I was completely lost.
      They did the Kristellar practice without my consent, I got tored open/had to be knit for delivery wounds- and they did that without anaesthasia - because they thought the pda was still working (which was not the case anymore)... etc etc...
      Later on I wished I could have had a peaceful delivery with a C section, with some care, bed rest and enough pain killers!
      Natural birth is NOT always that dreamy dream imagination you fantasize about! In real life nothing goes according to plan- THAT'S a given!

    • @Amy-jc5mo
      @Amy-jc5mo Month ago

      ​@Jasonslittlesister1I'm so sorry for what you went through with your first birth. What a horrible experience. Even if you have a healthy baby at the end of it, that trauma sticks with you for a long time.

  • @annieterminetschuppon7232

    A friend with endometriosis got a natural birth delivery but (that's the funny part😂), the contractions was (for her) not a pain at all. She was questioning the Medi staff about when the real contractions will come on which, the answer was "you are at almost the max'.
    She was surprised, took the delivery at ease with delivery contractions being a tiny fraction of endometriosis' pain

    I had preterm labor from 17 weeks which had to be stopped six times because my daughter’s placenta had a tear and the amniotic fluid was leaking. She came at 32 weeks, six days because the sac emptied entirely into my blood stream and shot my blood pressure to 285/180. She is now a 29 year old special education teacher in Savannah. She’s happily married and thriving.
    I had to go on bedrest at 14 weeks with my last child. At 27 weeks, they gave up about home-based bedrest and I had to stay at the hospital for the bedrest until he was delivered at 33 weeks due to medical issues for both of us. He is now a 21 year old man with a job and normal life.
    In both cases, the pregnancies and deliveries were stressful but led to my beautiful children. I tell these stories to tell you that scary pregnancies which go totally against the birth plan can work out and most often do. I’m pulling for you both! 😊

    I just had grandbaby #4 after a high risk pregnancy. After several dangerous issues early on, later came the Placenta Previa. We were so worried, but I can tell you, the best advice is to have a great team of doctors (which I know you have) keeping a close watch on the situation and everything will be fine. My grandson was born a month early and he was a small little guy, but Mom and our 5 mth old grandson are doing well and he is growing every day. The Lord has a purpose for your sweet boy and He will take care of and protect you both 🙏

    My planned c-section was an amazing, calm experience. Everyone in the OR was relaxed and joking around. They were able to walk me through each step without rushing because it wasn't an emergency. They were also able to control for more potential complications because they could adequately prepare for me. It was a very positive experience and one I would absolutely do again if I have another baby.

    I am so happy for you all. I had undiagnosed placenta previa, and everything turned out fine. My ob just ruptured my placenta when he went to break my water at induction (it was at the beginning of the covid shutdown and I chose induction a week before my due date because the local hospitals were discussing banning partners). Thankfully, 10 mins later my son was born via emergency C-section. It was not ideal, but my son and I were fine. He is now 5yrs old and THRIVING. I will be praying for you two. You have this. My husband and I both have kept you in our prayers throughout this whole journey.

    My previa resolved on it's own but it didn't end up mattering because my big ol 99 percentile baby got stuck, requiring an emergency c section. I was passionately against c sections but honestly, I lucked out & had an ideal procedure & recovery. It doesn't have to be the worst thing ever even if it's not your ideal birth scenario. The real ideal is a healthy baby & that helps with the disappointment if you do end up having to have surgery.

When I went in to have a C-section I couldn't believe how smoothly it went!! While they were getting her out of my belly my husband and I were talking about what I wanted to eat for dinner since I hadn't eaten in 2 days of labor.😅 The recovery is so much easier than what you think it will be too! You are a strong woman with a high pain tolerance and you have an amazingly supportive husband. Whatever birth plan comes your way, you will get through it with flying colors!
