* The Dr. appointment went amazing as far as the little guy is concerned. I went into the Dr. appointment with HIGH HIGH hopes that my placenta pre via was fixed and we would be taken off of pelvic rest and I can continue to work out. Well the tech shattered my hopes by saying my previa was STILL THERE:( "but don't worry it'll probably move", so yes it sucked to hear that but I still left the scan with HOPE. After weight and peeing in a cup we saw Dr. Taylor. Went over how things had been going and then the topic came up..PLACENTA PREVIA, still there. She said I had to continue with Pelvic rest and LIMITED ACTIVITY, yay not bed rest...but whats limited activity? I asked, "light workouts at the gym, light weights, walks?" The answer "NO!, work and go home". People who know me, I am an active person. I hate just laying around, of course I enjoy it sometimes, but overall I want to be active. So okay, I swallowed it, Ill accept it. But then it got worse. I asked if she still had hope it would go away, "I am doubting it at this point". I literally held back ALL MY tears. I made it to the elevator and had a BREAK DOWN, called my mom, balling. I do NOT want to have limited activity, any complications, most of all no bed rest, plus a C-Section. All of this I will deal with because the best news is that Baby Boy is safe!!!
For the few days I have been on restrictions its been okay, but hard not to just get up and go for a long evening walk, hard not to help pack to move, hard not to want to workout during my lunch breaks. I am of course going to try to do light workouts(yoga) at home and go for low impact walks at night (a mile or so). My next appointment is in 4 weeks and we will re evaluate the situation!
