placenta previa

[cutepachef]

well here I am 21 weeks pregnant and I have had severe bleeding since about 3 or 4 weeks along. It started out not so bad but it has just gotten worse and worse as I have gotten farther along. I had decided to look up what exactly placenta previa is and now I kind of wish that I had not looked it up at all.  Once I read about it and realized what it is and what happens and can happen with it it made me scared.  It seems that the more that I stand up or walk around even on flat surfaces it makes me bleed it slows when I sit and stops when I lay down most of the time.  I have one child already he is 13 and then Dan my boyfriend he works 9 hours a day how are we suppose to live like we are use to?  I feel bad asking Dan to help cause he allows me to be a stay at home mom with my son who has high functioning autism so how can I say Dan I know that you just got done working now I need you to do the dishes and the laundry cook dinner and clean up the house. I feel so bad doing that. I have been thinking about going to my doctor to ask if I can get a home health aide in here to help me. I do not know if I can get it but I do not know what else to do.  I hate to say this to but it is the truth you would think that my family knowing what it is that is going on would offer to help me you know just come over once a week or so and help me to make meals for a couple of days or for the week and help me with the big stuff in the house like vacuuming and sweeping mopping dusting things like that but they do not how do I come out and ask them to do it.  I think that since they know what is going on with me that they should at least ask me if I would like any help my mom lives 20 minutes away from me and my sister and brother lives 10 minutes away from me. It is not like it is alot to ask for is it? I feel like I am being a big baby complaining about this. I really only need help for about 6 weeks ore cause they may take the baby then even though I will only be 6 months maybe a little more. I do not want them to take the baby but if I can control the bleeding until then to help make things better at least the baby will live. I would love to carry longer but there is just only so much that I can do. I wish that things would just get better and be a little easier for me.  I am tired of this.  Well I guess I have complained enough for one day. Thanks Rose
