Ultrasound report

At the u/s they had mentioned that I had placenta previa, u/s report is that its completely covering the os, and they don't think it will go up on its own. She will be refering me to an obgyn and she said no one will deliver me vaginally as I am to high risk. There goes my homebirth. She also said I have something called venous lakes, which is pools of blood in the placenta, and she read me something about it but all I heard was fetal growth restriction. Nice. I looked it up, and it was very vague.
She had said to me, it can be normal with one, which you have, but more than one can be dangerous. Then she said, oh wait, y ou have more than one, the other girl (another patient) has one.
Now, giving me all these news, she didn't have any info about my activity restriction, or anything definite until the head midwife comes in in the afternoon. It seemed a little unprofessional that she called me with all these bad news, but didn't have any answers, couldn't tell me exactly what they would do, what EXACTLY anything means, even about going to an ob/gyn.
So, now I have all these bad news, most of which is that these things can lead to a preemie, a baby with growth restricitions, or bleeding to death possibly, and a c/s. I don't mean to be negative.
I will GLADLY give up my homebirth, for a healthy baby. And trying to be positive, at the last u/s they said he was looking really healthy, he had legs, and arms and heart had 4 chambers, ect. So, I am thinking, hopefully the growth restriction won't be to much of a problem.

She said probably I will go back in 3 weeks for another u/s to check everything again, but of course, this too she couldn't confirm b/c the other midwife wasn't there yet.

So, I found at at playgroup with some friends, and proceeded to cry in the middle of it. So, lets hope things go well from her on...and I will give you an update when the m/w calls.


o yeah, and my amniotic fluid is quite low
