Placenta Previa

Had a OB appointment today. They didn't tell me during my last ultrasound that there was anything wrong. When I went in today, they asked if I had another ultrasound appointment scheduled. When I told the midwife that I didn't, she said that I need to because of a complication. She said it was that the placenta was on the edge of the cervix. They want to see if it'll move on its on within the next six weeks. Now, while there, I had no idea what this meant. After the appointment, I came home and told my mom. She seemed really worried. Told me it was actually dangerous. I was trying not to look it up or get worried about it, last I need is to stress myself out over it. But, I looked it up... Apparently, it really is concerning. Thankfully, mine is on the border, so its Marginal Previa. This can cause bleeding, pelvic rest, c-section, and could really harm the baby. For example, as scary as it is, it can cause the baby to die. Once again, trying not to scare myself too much, but it's creepy to think about.
I'm just really glad that Amelia's heart beat was good today. She's been kicking like crazy. Which has been normal lately. Especially, when I'm trying to sleep or something. Then its kicking constantly. My blood pressure was 102 over 56. And, my weight... 109.2 lbs! I don't remember when I weighed that much. Not sure if I'm happy about it or not. I know I'm gaining weight because I'm pregnant, but I don't like feeling fat. I just have to remind myself that its not me. It is the miracle of growing a person inside you. Of course, I'm not going to be 95 lbs while pregnant. That would not be very healthy. I'm trying to safely manage my weight, so I don't gain too much, but so that I gain enough. Shouldn't be too hard.
