Bleeding at 13 weeks pregnancy

So at this point of my life, I was diagnosed with placenta previa. I was advised for bed rest and take Duphaston and Duvadilan three times a day for seven days. But since my spotting never stops, I never stop the medication. So I took those pills for one month until my next pre-natal check up wherein, my OB changed my medication to Progesterone (Sex Hormone) three times a day for seven days. It was effective because, one the first day, my spotting was gone. Instead, I have white discharge maybe due to this new gel capsule that I used.

What is Placenta Previa?

This case happens when your placenta is lying low in the uterus or covering your cervix. In my case, based from my ultrasound, my placenta is covering the cervix. The placenta is the pancake-shaped organ – normally located near the top of the uterus – that supplies your baby with nutrients through the umbilical cord.

If you're found to have placenta previa early in pregnancy, it's not usually considered a problem. But if the placenta is still close to the cervix later in pregnancy, it can cause bleeding, which can lead to other complications and may mean that you'll need to deliver early. If you have placenta previa when it's time to deliver your baby, you'll need to have a cesarean section.

If the placenta covers the cervix completely, it's called a complete or total previa. If it's right on the border of the cervix, it's called a marginal previa. (You may also hear the term "partial previa," which refers to a placenta that covers part of the cervical opening once the cervix starts to dilate.) If the edge of the placenta is within two centimeters of the cervix but not bordering it, it's called a low-lying placenta.

The location of your placenta will be checked during your mid-pregnancy ultrasound exam (usually done between 16 to 20 weeks) and again later if necessary.

So what would I do?

I actually had my bed rest but not total bed rest because at that time, I still have 3 running projects for wedding invitation. It was really hard for me because, I was delayed to my client's target date for about 2 weeks. Thankfully, they understood my situation. So I told myself that after these projects, I will not accept bookings temporarily until next year.

I am hoping that my placenta "migrate" farther from my cervix.
