I was seen by my OB again this morning due to more spotting. Our 3D ultrasound last week found the reason that I had spotted the week between Christmas and New Year's, but we thought it was all resolved. Apparently not.
Yoho's placenta is low lying (near, but not over my cervix). As my uterus grows, the placenta is moving up and away from my cervix, which is good. A small edge of his placenta, however, has detached from the uterine wall (not enough to affect his nutrition--he's bigger than his sister!). This is what caused the bleeding earlier in the month, but since it had stopped, my OB was hopeful that it was stable and wouldn't cause any more problems. It appears there may still be some bleeding from that site, though.
Dr. Dryden is concerned but not panicked, is watching me very closely, and has told me to stay off my feet and rest as much as possible. If the separation grows, it could get bad. If things stay the same, there is no reason to expect long-term complications. Today was taken with naps and phone calls to get some help with Jono. Your prayers for all bleeding to stop completely and permanently would be appreciated.
We'll keep you posted.

we're praying for you all, indeed.
Lots of prayers are being said in this house. And I'd love to watch Jono for you if you need it.
Thinking of you and praying for you! I had a similar situation with the twins between 15-18 weeks. It was scary. Lucy was baby A and her placenta totally moved on its own by 20ish weeks and the spotting stopped. Praying for the same for you!! Sydney
Oh girly... do as you're told and rest! Praying...
We will keep you on our prayer line. Love you - Memaw
