I had my first 3rd trimester appointment today! I lost my mucus plug and my belly is measuring small :/ Which doesn't really make sense to me being that at my last ultrasound (about 4 weeks ago) he was measuring 2 days ahead.. My doctor said I shouldn't be worried but that's impossible for me lol
@2novbabies, It sounds a lot scarier than it really is my doctor says haha. It doesn't really cause a problem unless it takes up over half of the placenta. It can also effect the growth of the baby, so you're just going to have a smaller sized baby but still healthy. Thank you 😊
@2novbabies, It's pools of the mothers blood in the placenta
@mrsg25, That makes me feel a million times better.. So happy you had a healthy baby as well! 😊
What is a placental lake? Sorry never heard of that before
I had a placental lake and would measure ahead, then normal, then behind, etc. I ended up with a healthy 8lb 9oz baby!! And you can lose your mucus plug lots of times, it grows back! So try not to worry momma!! 😊
@2novbabies, Oh, okay I can't help but to worry something is wrong lol. I have a placental lake and my doctor said that can result in a smaller size baby but apparently I have a normal size baby and a small belly lol. This is all extremely new to me, thank you so much
Your belly might be small but it doesn't always mean baby is small
Oh well that's good lol
