Fighting in the Womb / Possible Placenta Previa

Fighting in the Womb

I went to the doctor to check on Baby A and B today.  (I'm 16.5wks along, but measuring 24wks.)  Boy, are they active!  The nurse can distinguish the babies heartbeats much faster if she does an ultrasound.  It's not the greatest quality machine that they use, which is why for most of my ultrasounds they send me to the hospital.  

Anyway, as soon as the babies show up on the screen, we see Baby B pull its legs up to its chest... then shoot its legs straight out, kicking Baby A in the booty.  It was hilarious!  Although at the same time I wanted to say, "STOP THAT!!"  hahaha  He/she did it two times in a row.  I wish I had my phone within reach.  

I know for sure I have felt them move twice in the past week. It's very faint, but this time I know what to 'look for'.  I didn't feel my son move until 19 weeks.  


Possible Placenta Previa

The midwife also told me that they are going to keep a watch on Baby B for placenta previa.  She explained to me that it is when the placenta has grown low in the womb. His/her placenta looks like it is on or very close to the cervix.  Right now, all is good they will just watch it.  But if I have any bleeding, they want me to go straight to the hospital.  Believe it or not, I'm not worried about it.  My God has these little babies in His hands. I'll just say an extra prayer for them at night, and trust that He will take care of the rest.  I'd definitely appreciate any prayers from family/friends as well!  In reference to my previous post, this does confirm that I will NOT be running during this pregnancy.  :)
