I am 22 weeks prego and had some bleeding today, I went into the doc and they did a ultra sound, they told me my placenta was hanging low and tore a little that is what cause the bleeding. He told me to go on bedrest for a week (wich is hard because I have a 1 year old) I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if everything turned out ok.

placenta praevia can happen to anyone. I would really take your doctors advice of staying on bed rest and not moving unless you have to (bathroom trips only). the tearing is not a thing to play with when it comes to pregnancy. Unfortunately i did have a still birth at 26 weeks with one of my pregnancies from a tear and blood clot (i was not getting the proper prenatal care and was not diagnosed until it was too late)
Try not to stress and move around a lot at this time. I know it may be hard because of your 1 year old but get all the help and support you can from relatives and friends with your other child. At this point you should be considered high risk and be very careful what you do.
there have been many women who have done fine with placenta praevia and went on to deliver happy and healthy babies. Also ask your doctor about a C-section. Since you have placenta praevia that may be your only birthing option. Actually it will be your only birthing option. This is because the placenta blocks the baby's only way out.
Rest well and good luck!

This never happened to me but if you go to http://boards.webmd.com/webx?50@@.5987f45b
They have a message board I used through out my whole pregnancy. Anything you could imagine about pregnancy people know about or talk about. Post this question on there and hopefully you will find out more there.
