Dr. appt today... Update!! Frustrated!!

Okay so I went to my OB today for a regular visit. I had a pap and cultures today and I was very tender as he was feeling and measuring my belly. He couldn't find a hb on the doppler so we decided to do an u/s since he has one in the office it wasn't too busy...
Well I have placenta previa again. He said I don't have to be on strict bedrest yet, but I am limited in activity. I can go for a walk arund the block with the kids, but I can't be on my feet for long periods of time and I am still not allowed to have sex!!! UUUGGGGGHHHH!! I haven't been able to have sex since 7 weeks... Yeah we are able to do other things, but its not the same... I have to be very careful cleaning the house as well... Atleast I am not on bed rest, but it is still frustrating..
We did see the hb on the ultrasound... It was 148bpm... Last time it was 170 so the hb is all over the place. The baby was also all over the place. This little baby did not stop moving the whole scan. The Dr. was laughing a little. We saw a hand and all 5 fingers as baby was waving...
So I may still be on restriction, but baby is doing amazing and that is the most important part!! We will have alot of makeup sex coming up though as soon as we are off restriction... (smile)

It has only been 7 weeks for me and I am going crazy... I couldn't imagine going six mths without sex... I am really praying the placenta will move by my next appt... Good luck to you!!

Thanks everyone!
