Vasa Previa

[Tegam]

Wow sorry you have had such a stressful pregnancy. Talk to your OB hun, for the most part OBs are very kind people that love babies. You are only going to ask why and talk to him about your concerns you aren't going to go in there and say you don't respect his decisions. It's a team thing hun. He can't help you if he doesn't know where you are at hugs

i am so sorry u are going thru this!

i had a grade 4 placenta previa and vasa previa with my pregnancy. unfortunatley i had 2 big bleeds and DS was delivered at 34 weeks. we didnt find out i had vasa previa until the day before DS was born and no one could tell me what it was. it wasnt until i got home and googled it that i found out how serious it was. have u had any bleeding? to be honest if you can got to 37 weeks without any bleeding then thats great! otherwise if your ob is concerned and wants to deliver your baby at 34 weeks then there must be a reason. like the others have said have a chat with him and see what he says. there might be a reason why he doesnt want to go beyond 34 weeks. its a very scary thing to be bleeding especially in late pregnancy.

good luck. feel free to pm me if you want to know anything else

Thanks Teresa, yes I had two very large bleeds at 24 & 25 wks which was scary & they then found the vasa. I'm in hospital now & will stay till bubs comes. I'm seeing him Monday to make a plan & fingers crossed I don't have any more till the CS. Thanks for the support ladies it's a bit scary at times.

Ok well we now have a date for my CS 19th December. He will be 34 weeks & 3 days. So legs crossed for no heavy bleeding between now & then

Bex, just saw this

What a rough ride you've had And now you have couple of months of hospital food to top it off you poor thing
I don't know anything about vasa previa, but it sounds like you are in the best place. It's good you have an end date - something to work towards!!! I really, really hope it's all smooth sailing until then.

Stay in there little one!!

Take care x

Thanks N2L, it has been rough & after all you go through TTC for so long & the crap you have to go through with IVF, you'd think pregnancy could give you a break & be kind but every few weeks of bleeding hasn't been so enjoyable. But I'm greatful that there is light ahead.
The staff at the hospital have been amazing & the food here at FPH is not to bad & DH is bringing my fave foods in. I'm trying to think of it as a mini retreat. No cleaning, cooking or the other day to day chores & a good rest before bubs comes.
Thanks for the well wishes x
