Remember that last post where I talked about knowing my children from the womb, yeah, I’m a quack.
I learned last week at my appointment that I have low-lying placenta. I knew basically what that is but definitely not details of what that means right now. Remember all my “this child is so calm and I’m not feeling the baby move yet” comments? Yeah, that’s a very good sign of a low-lying placenta. If the placenta is low, it actually places itself as a barrier between the baby and I and movement is harder to feel. Also, not being able to find the heart beat on the 1st visit, yep, that’s another very common sign.
Now, don’t worry, it’s not previa and rarely does a low-lying placenta actually stay there, so no one is freaked out yet or anything, but it something to think about and certainly explains my experience thus far.
So, yeah, I’m not some great intuitive mother, they were just signs of a low-lying placenta and not actually happening.
As for the gender of this child, we call him/her girl, but we’ll see on the day of arrival. :)
