Hi everyone. I have not posted in a long time, but try to keep up on the

daily digests. I am 30 yrs. old, 18 weeks pregnant with our first and 13

months post-op. I lost 2.5 pounds at my second Dr.'s visit and gained 1/2

pound at the next. My next one is tomorrow and I don't think I have gained

any this month either. I am not really showing unless I wear certain

clothes. I can tell on myself, but no one else can unless I tell them. My

question is when I am laying down on my back I can definitely feel my

" little lump " and it is not as round as it is oblong. Sometimes it feels

like it is bulging more to one side also. Is this normal? This is probably a

silly question, but I have never been through this before and am clueless.

I was diagnosed with plecenta previa at 10 weeks so I am on certain

resrictions. My doctor has scheduled 5 ultrasounds in the next five weeks to

make sure the placenta is moving up, which Monday's US shows that it looks

like it is. Thanks for listening.

Hi Kim...

I have an OB appointment tomorrow too! I'm 15 weeks and 12.5 months

post op and I know what you mean about the little bulge. No one would

know that I was pregnant unless I told them, but when I lay down,

there it is! The little bulge below my belly button pooching out like

no body's business. Some morning's it's nice and round and hard and

other's it's oval shaped and leaning towards one side or the other. I

think it depends on how you've slept throughout the night and which

way gravity is pulling it.

As far as placenta previa, I have no answers for you. But years ago

my cousin was diagnosed with placenta previa. She followed dr.s

advice and delivered a beautifully healthy baby boy. Good luck!

When I am laying down my belly is not round either. More oblong like

you said. And you can really see her on one side or the other at

times. Last night, you could see my whole belly moving as she was

shifting positions. Or at least that is what I think she was doing.
