The Previa is Gone

At our 20 week ultrasound, we were told that I had marginal previa. Because of this, we were given another ultrasound (no complaining there!). We had high hopes this wasn't placenta previa because if it were I'd have to have a c-section. If you aren't familiar with previa, look at this picture. The normal placenta is what you want (we aren't completely there but it's out of the way enough to deliver and it should continue to move in the upward direction). The picture for marginal previa is what I had. Complete previa is what you don't want. As you can see, the placenta covers the cervix making no way out for the baby. This was an answer to prayer.
