thank you all so much!

i can't believe how much better this recovery is going. with the boy it took weeks. i could hardly move. climbing the stairs or getting into bed were out of the question for so long. this time around, i hardly felt much pain after just a few days even though the surgery took lots longer because of the tubal, the dermoid cyst (the pathology showed hair in it! eww, gag, heave ). turned out i also had placenta previa, not just low-lying placenta. i kept telling the docs something didn't feel right this time around but never really got anywhere with it. guess i wasn't squeaky enough. then i started to loose my mucus plug and it went on for days, so i did get really squeaky about that. i kept saying it was possible that membranes had ruptered but weren't leaking because of the low-lying placenta and with strep b, i didn't want to take any chances AT ALL. doc fortunately sent me for a nonstress test and fluid level check a few days before the surgery. fluid was OK, but that's when they discovered the placenta previa. i was so glad i insisted because it meant i needed to deliver in the regular OR, instead of maternity OR, and prompted my doc to have another sugeon assist, instead of a nurse. they all took such great care of me in there because of the possible complications, and i'm positive that's why recovery is so much easier this time 'around.

serendipity baby!
