Diagnosed with Vasa Previa

Pamela2006

Hi, I have been diagnosed with vasa previa... I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? The doc I saw said he sees a case of it once every couple years (really reassuring!) I am 32 weeks and 3 days and from what I am reading c-sections are recommended around 35-36 weeks! but, the doc I saw was not helpful at all, had no answers and didn't call me back today. Just looking for some background info since there seems to be so little of it out there from respectable sources!

 

TIA!

Again, I don't know anything about it, but wanted to send you my good thoughts and prayers.  Keep us posted, hon.

I also don't know what it is but wish you the best.

What I know is that you are fortunate to have been diagnosed so that complications don't occur. Vasa Previa is a rare condition where fetal blood vessels cross the birth canal. They will do a c-section at or before 35 weeks, and many woman are hospitalized to reduce the risk.

 Keep us updated, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Who's your dr.?  It concerns me that they weren't more helpful to you!!  I'm glad that you were diagnosed, though, and I wish you the absolute best for a wonderful birth and beautifully healthy little baby!!

I finally got some info yesterday, they want to see me 2x a week for non stress tests but they said delivery would probably be at 37 weeks... that makes me a bit nervous. I have my first NST and meet with another doctor tomorrow. I think I am going to see how that goes and possibly get a 2nd opinion.
