It's pregnancy stuff, so if you want to continue reading, go ahead, if not, that's fine as well.
So after my 20 week ultrasound, my doctor told me that my placenta was hanging out more towards the front of my uterus, as opposed to hanging around in the middle or back behind. With this developement, there's a possibility that the placenta will attach to the scar left behind from my previous C-section. I talked to my dr today, asking her if there was any way of finding out if the placenta had attached or not. Basically, we won't know until after the baby comes out. Because I've only had one c-section, the likelihood of it attaching is very minimal. I was kinda hoping for a solution, knowing in this instance that I will deliver one way or the other, but it looks like I'll have to wait for mother nature to make up it's mind. The Dr. joked saying that it would be awesome for me to go into labor at 37 weeks-I laughed afterwards because I know that will never happen. Although with there being no possibility of having an induction (due to me having a c-section), I know that I will give myself a week after my due date before I decide to go with another C-section. I'm really hoping that it won't come to that-really hoping. Sometimes I think, "Everything else has been different with this pregnancy (I'm thinking due to the fact that it's a girl) that labor would be different as well." Then I come to my senses and realize that it's not going to happen that way and that I should prepare myself to go for the long haul. In the end, I want a healthy baby and a healthy mommy, and that's all I want so whatever happens, happens.
