Then she measured me and told me I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead! Very big girl in there. I had my colposcopy done and they found abnormalities, but opted not to do the biopsy as I am already high risk, so I have that to look forward to after she is born. I asked lots of questions and she thinks that the baby could be in harm because of the clot. She said if it gets bigger it can cause the placenta to detach and a possible miscarriage. I had been told by my specialist that the clot was anterior and the placenta posterior so their was no risk to me or the baby. Im so confused. Also she told me that i need to be laying more than i am because gravity plays a roll in it all.... tho my specialist said i could use a wheelchair to go shopping in minimal amounts. i just don't know what to think anymore. O and i am up 1 pound! she isnt thrilled by it and said i should try to eat more but i was happy with a pound in a month as that puts me a pound away from an ideal weight for my size lol. But she may have a point because i got pretty big belly for not gaining weight with this pregnancy and being down 42 overall since my surgery. Do you think I should ask my specialist about what she said? Should i call her and explain what the specialist said?

  quonsetmom Offline Last seen: 1 week 4 days ago Joined: 10/10/12 Posts: 1559 so i called this morning and got a call back right away. He said that the baby is in no immediate danger as the clot is on the opposite side of the placenta! yay mini dance party. BUT... he said that my bed rest restrictions are up to Dr. Goldman for now. He will re evaluate and give her his opinion but she decides. So that leaves me laying down most of the day. (I had been sitting to do some crafts but not anymore) I can be up a total of a couple hours a day. fun fun. 7 weeks and 4 days in now.
