I thought a journal post would be easier than having to respond to everyone's questions. First of all and most important, both the baby and I are OK. I had a regular appointment scheduled for today. When I got there I was told that an ultrasound had been scheduled last minute to check the anatomy of the baby and to look at a few other things. I was in shock! I was there with just Cora and myself. I told them I was not expecting an ultrasound and they said they called my home last week but we never got a call. My midwife was pretty upset about that cause obviously the secretary never made the call. Had we of known, Pat would have been there with me. I was in tears. I know...hormones but he missed seeing the baby and I was so worried about being there alone with Cora. Anyway, she did great and was so amused by the baby on the screen. I was so proud. Well, the baby looks great and is right on track for it's development. Then the Doctor moved the wand and said there it is. I looked and said what? All I saw was a cloud like thing in the upper right side of my abdomen. My midwife said it is not serious but that there is a mass in my uterus and they took tons of pictures of it. Now the only thing going through my head is the big C word. I can't even say it. I was terrified. We have lost countless family and friends from cancer and have seen others struggle through it. How can I handle this with a toddler??? They said not to worry too much and they would call me soon with more news. I left the office happy to had been able to see the baby and know that it is doing well but scared because of this mass. Then while waiting at home I finally got a call and it turns out I have a placental mass in my uterus that has attached itself to the wall of my uterus on the upper right side. I was told that in most cases, delivery goes just as planned and the baby is just fine. My tummy may begin growing much bigger to accommodate a growing baby plus this mass. It is nothing to be concerned about and should not cause any problems with the baby or delivery. We will just have to watch it because it could cause problems as the baby grows. As some of you may remember, I have mentioned that I can only feel the baby kicking on the left side. Well, this is why. The mass is taking up the right side so the baby can't get over there. They said the mass most likely has formed within the last several months and was not detected in the ultrasound 2 months ago but I will be OK. I just have to have another ultrasound in a few weeks to check on the mass to make sure it is not growing or will not create any problems during delivery. So, other than this mass, everything looks great and the baby was moving all around and kicking and even rubbing it's eyes. So cute!!! I just wish Pat could have been there. Thank you for all your concern. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends and I love you all.
