20 WEEK PREGNANCY UPDATE | ULTRASOUND RESULTS - BABY'S HEART EIF? NO HOME BIRTH & LOW LYING PLACENTA 

I’m a MFM sonographer- meaning I do ultrasounds for high risk patients. I’m the person you come to when something is bad. First- you’re placenta low lying it means it will only ever move away from the cervix. It can’t just magically jump to cover the cervix. Also majority move away by 32 weeks. Like 90/95% of them move by the time of delivery. Second- the EIF. Lord above I hate finding them to report because they are so benign and cause unnecessary stress. With your NIPT (cell free dna) coming back normal it’s no stress to the doctors at my practice. If that’s the ONLY finding- they are basing classifying it as a soft marker for downs from a 1980s study before we had blood work and more advanced ultrasound. I see them often and they sometimes go away but I’ve never seen it be a problem. I hate this pandemic for my first time mommas because it takes away so much. Don’t let the ultrasound results take away more. Seriously if my baby had the EIF I wouldn’t even blink at it.

I honestly so hate when people (SPECIFICALLY OTHER WOMEN) make others feel they can't complain or even talk about the struggles that can come with pregnancy. Being in pain, being scared, being uncomfortable and talking about that in no way means you don't appreciate your pregnancy or aren't so thankful and lucky to have a pregnancy and baby. You're ALLOWED TO BE IN PAIN AMD UNCOMFORTABLE AND YOURE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT

I don’t think I’ve ever been this emotionally invested in anyone’s pregnancy 😭

My baby had the calcification on his heart as well. I was in this EXACT position and felt how your feeling right now. I was terrified, started researching everyday which made me freak out worse. My baby came out perfectly fine and along the way I met a TON of moms who said they were told the same thing and their babies came out happy and healthy, no issues. I just wanted to let you know that because I know how terrifying uncertainty is. It drove me mad but it helped and gave me hope when I found women how went through the same situation and their babies were fine- 🤍❤️Sending you lots of love and good vibes💕

Labor nurse here for 11 years :) This happens A LOT! And most the time, the placenta moves it’s way up ;) enjoy your pregnancy. C-sections bring your baby into the world just as vaginal births do. Please, let me give you advice...DO NOT set expectations like a birth plan, you’ll set yourself up for disappointment when it doesn’t go that way. The Dr’s have to tell you these things, you need to know all the risks. Home births can be great, but they can be soooooo scary too! Take it from me who has seen some shit hit the fan within seconds and having an OR right there is the most reassuring thing for us as medical professionals...quicker to get babies out so they can be HEALTHY! 💕 I’m a mom of 5, I know it’s scary, but let yourself glow because God knows you deserve it. So much love to you, enjoy that baby bump and those kicks.

My son had a white calcium spot on his heart! It went away and he’s a completely healthy chunky 2 year old now! ❤️ just trying to give you some happy stories about it

We just got our first positive pregnancy test after 5 years of nothing. Not even a chemical. We're beyond delighted 😍 x

kristi my little girl has Down syndrome. She is my only child. In the beginning I was totally overwhelmed. But I want to tell you that she is absolutely my greatest blessing. If that is the case you will be just fine. And you will be a wonderful perfect mommy to your little one no matter the circumstances. I will keep you in my prayers ❤️

Just came here to fight whoever is being an asshole to a cute AF pregnant woman. FFS these Karen’s are truly miserable

Sending you positive energy only ❤️🙏🏽

I was watching this video and my wife thought I was FaceTiming a friend. She's a physical therapist and told me to tell you to try sleeping with a wedge under your knees to elevate that too when you're elevating your upper body to sleep. She says it'll put less pressure on your back and hopefully help with the pain ❤️Sending you love!

Kristi, my first son had an EIF in his left ventricle (no other down’s markers) and the fear and unknown risk loomed over the duration of my pregnancy. I fully believe that my fear over what lay on the other side of birth contributed to a lengthy, difficult labor that resulted in a cesarean birth. I think my stress and fear prevented my pelvic floor from relaxing and allowing him to descend. Turns out, he has no chromosomal abnormalities and is perfectly healthy. PLEASE try to not let the fear overtake you. I did the NIPT this time for the reassurance because it’s far more accurate than what an EIF in isolation indicates. ❤️❤️❤️ Sending you so much love and light and wishing for peace for you!!!

Anyone who’s come here to leave hurtful comments - Go. The. Hell. Away. Kristi brings so much joy to RU-vid and her miracle pregnancy is some of the best news a lot of people have had in these very shitty times we presently find ourselves. Kristi is a smart, educated woman. She is filled with love and is following guidance from medical professionals. How is that wrong???????? Go Kristi!! You and your family are beautiful and deserving of all the good things!! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Always look after you and yours first. Those of us who love you are here for you and fully respect your decisions regarding your baby and your RU-vid career. You got this!

My husband who knows literally no one on RU-vid and makes fun of me for watching- “How are Kristi and the baby doing?”

Girl... If there's Anything I've learned from my pregnancies, it's that you can't expect ANYTHING! I still prefer being in control of certain things. But I've learned that with pregnancy and having kids, you're better off trying to relax and go with the flow as much as possible. Stress is the worst for you 3. You'll get through it though. You got this! On the scale of bad things during pregnancy, the stuff you're going through is manageable. Trust in that and your doctors.

In my experience.. From the moment you get a positive pregnancy test.. You never stop worrying! I hope you and baby are well ❤️

Hi, Kristi! Physician here! An echogenic intracardiac focus is a bit of common observation and it is considered the mineralization of a muscle (papillary muscles). It is generally considered a benign variant when seen in isolation in a normal pregnancy ❤❤❤

Kristi, you’re glowing nonstop.

when you get pregnant, you have to expect anything and everything. what you need to do is to pray to the Creator to take care of you and your baby.

“Youre so cute today oh my gosh I love you” -Your husband me: BISSHHHHH WTF YALL ARE SOO CUTE I LOVE YOU GUYS ONGGGG

My son had those marks on his heart, he had 3. They went away and everything turned out perfect. They said the same things to me and I was so worried. He's now 7 and healthy and perfect!

Low lying placentae do usually resolve, don’t stress, focus on your joy.

I just watched your old "I tried following Jaclyn Hills makeup tutorial" and then when you recreating your FIRST tutorial omg you were so precious and watching it in 2020 now that you're prego is just the sweetest thing ever! ❤

"You're everyone's real dad" 😂😂 You two are the absolute cutest! You look so adorable pregnant. Can't wait until little one is here ❤. Be strong girl. I'm sure everything will work out how it's supposed to. I'm not a mom and I'm sure you're going to worry regardless. But you'll get through this. 🙏

Who’s here after her insta story to back her? I’m so saddened by what she is dealing with. People please be KIND!

Hey Kristi, just to help comfort you about bubba's heart: both myself and my brother were supposed to be born with heart defects based on the ultrasounds. Neither of us have any heart issues. The ultrasounds don't tell you everything, so try not to panic

I'm just going to cry throughout your entire pregnancy cause I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU

I had this exact same thing with my second son. You go through all the motions and especially as a first time mom all the emotions are so much more heighten. Stay aware mamas. It’s good you know what you want !

Pregnancy is rough. With my first, I had such high hopes for a “natural” birth. The nurse/doc were super supportive until about 9 cm and a rapidly dropping heart rate. I never saw a doctor move so fast, and I delivered by c section. It is okay to change plans and it is also okay to mourn the change in plans.

"yOu DoN't DrEsS rIgHt FoR yOuR bOdY tYpE" y'all...no. kristi wears overalls better than the olsen twins okay? if you put it on your body, and you're comfortable in it, then you are dressing PERFECTLY for you body type. and you're absolutely slaying the fashion industry with your style and beauty. absolutely do not tell anyone how to dress, ever. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I had a hospital C-section. My kiddo is 12, trans, happy, and THRIVING. I know it's not what you want, but, uh... The doctor who performed the surgery was named SWORD. And they had to tease my husband from looking past the cloth screen. I have an epic birth story and recovered so quickly. We laugh about it to this day. We all love you. I'm convinced that you'll have an awesome birth, even if it's not like you expected. You got this. I can't wait to hear the news that you have your baby in your arms. Go, Mama, go!

You are seriously my person. I am such a planner, and having a baby is so hard because plans rarely go the way you want. Im 16w now and at 13w I was told I have placenta previa by a doctor (not my own) and they didn't give me any other information. Then when I saw my dr last week they told me to try and not worry about it, and I feel you is what I'm trying to say. Im a think negative until proven otherwise kind of person as well. So many hugs to you, its so hard right now.

Everyone in the comments now like “WHO TF HURT THE BEAUTY COMMUNITY’S CINNAMON ROLL.”

Hi Kristie- I’m an ultrasound technologist and I’m sure all this information has been passed on to you before, but I thought I’d say it just in case. Typically, an EIF is just a prominent chordae tendinae, which is normal anatomy in the heart. A vast majority of the time, it’s nothing. So much so, that sometimes doctors won’t even mention it to patients. Calcifications also typically shadow on ultrasound and have a “twinkle” response to color Doppler. I’ve seen EIFs numerous times, it’s just a random incidental finding. I just wanted to try to reiterate that it’s likely nothing!

Hey love. I'm sorry I'm late. Congratulations 1st off. We've been trying for 7 years. Rub the belly for us! Please don't stress urself out. Please stay strong n stay safe.

Kristi, you are GLOWING✨🙌🏼 Everything will be just fine, remember you’ve been waiting your whole life for this. You’ve got this, one day at a time!

Hi Kristi! I’m a maternal fetal medicine ultrasound technologist. EIF’s are found quite often and typically don’t cause health problems; in fact most usually just disappear. They are little deposits of calcium on the heart muscle... and while they are a marker for DS, it’s quite uncommon. They are usually an isolated finding. I scan plenty of babies that have had them and they raise no concern 99% of the time...also, you look beautiful!

You’re mourning the birth you planned. Your feelings are so valid.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and can completely relate!!! I was also told there was a spot that illuminated on my baby’s heart during the 20 week anatomy scan. They had me do a follow up ultrasound a couple weeks later where they ruled out any issues. It’s been very hard not having the envisioned first pregnancy I always dreamed of. We cancelled our baby shower and my husband has not been able to attend appointments since March and I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes but just like you, we are trying to stay positive and it just is what it is! We are thankful that our baby boy is healthy and that’s all that really matters!!! Stay positive and wishing you the best for the remainder of your pregnancy! ❤️

For my second baby they said “Anatomy scan failure, they couldn't see the entire heart septum and said there might be a small hole, but they weren’t sure” they said when baby is born to come back to see the heart again, he was born healthy and all is well! I would say don’t worry about it, but I know I worried and it’s hard not to think about it, I will pray for you and your baby to be healthy ! I have PCOS and I had a difficult birth, but it’s all worth it in the end!

I feel like Kristi is my best friend whose never met me lmao

'bout ready to fight everyone in this comment section. Leave Kristi alone. This is her moment, her pregnancy, her miracle, her body, and her choices. None of this affects you. None of it.

feel however you need to feel girl. you said it perfectly, you can understand it but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. you know we all support you no matter what 💖

Kristi I just want you to know that I’m praying for you dear! Make sure you take care of yourself as long as you’re healthy and the baby is healthy that’s all that matters. ❤️

It’s sad how there’s even discussions about the ‘perfect pregnant belly’ .. a miracle is happening inside of a woman’s body and somehow the media and social platforms have made women feel not proud of their belly and created jealousy amongst other pregnant women making comparisons about their bellies.

Everyone here’s sharing their stories and I wanted to as well. My mom when she was pregnant with me found out she had ovarian cancer on her first ultrasound. Multiple doctors told her to abort me because I could have had multiple birth defects or she could have lost her life because they couldn’t treat her while pregnant. She refused to abort, I came out perfectly healthy and she had surgery right after birth. She’s still happy and healthy 26 years later ☺️ in her words “you saved my life, I wasn’t letting them take yours”. Every pregnancy is different. I’m truly happy for Kristi and her husband, I hope she and her baby will be safe through this pregnancy. 💕

Hi glowing beauty ❤️ I went through the same thing with my son. When we went to the pediatric cardiologist when he was born, there was literally nothing wrong or found. He’s a happy healthy 8 year old now. I know it’s scary to hear, but you are strong and will be such an amazing mom. Sending so many hugs and happy thoughts to you and your family ❤️

Stumbled across your page and I love it! You're so calming 😌 and real. The love between you and your hubby is just so adorable. I'm so sorry they gave you so much anxiety with the ultrasound. I had placenta previa that resolved at 39w8d...i ended up delivering naturally with my midwives at 42w3d. It was a tough journey bc placenta previa is hard. Every time I wiped, I prayed to not see blood. One of my twins had a white spot on his heart and it resolved itself at 27 weeks. I'll be praying for you for peace and a sense of calm in your remaining weeks. I'm also going to binge watch all your old content :) New subscriber here!

I think you and Zach need coffee mugs that say "dad" and "real dad" lmfao

Who else thinks Zack is the perfect husband? 🙋‍♀️

That “ popping “ feeling may be the babies hiccups ♥️I got them a lot

I’m more excited for her than I’ve ever been for any best friend of family in my life. How? This is honestly an amazing story!

I will fight anyone who tries to shame Kristi on her choices as an educated, smart woman. Honestly how dare you

“Ur so cute today” “Aww thanks I love you with my whole heart” That was the cutest thing ever 😱

Kristi, I’m so sorry you are so stressed! My little one is 8 days old so I know exactly where you’re coming from with your fears. The best recommendation I can give you is to join a Facebook support group with other mom’s that are due near the same times as you. Everyone asks questions and you’re able to have a supportive group of women who know exactly what you’re going through! The emotions and relatable situations make you feel less alone and scared. I didn’t realize how many women have placenta previa or a low placenta until I joined my group. So many people had it and their placentas moved (sometimes it took a few ultrasound for it to move!) I am praying for you and your husband and your sweet little baby. You got this mama ❤️

One of the worst days of my life was getting a call from my OB before I even made it home from my 7 month Ultrasound. This did not end well I promise you, you will absolutely know when the Drs. are concerned. Try to relax and enjoy every single moment of your pregnancy. So very happy for you!

Why do I now want to try fake freckles?? You inspire me every day! Hang in there, my beautiful friend! Everything that happens is just part of your story. When you're holding your little baby and someone reaches out to you that feels similarly to how you do now, you'll be able to say you know how they feel and you'll really mean that. You'll be able to comfort them and help them feel less alone. I know this time feels so LONG, but you will look back and say... wow... that was a time and I made it through. You CAN do this! Sending so much love!!

I've had 5 pregnancies, all of them very different from each other. All of them with varying levels of complications either during pregnancy or birth. None of them had me more worried and frightened than my last baby. Everything was normal until my 20 week scan. That's when they discovered he was missing his nasal bone,which for those who don't know is a sign of Down Syndrome. I was tested immediately and was told to wait 9 days for the results. When I tell you,I cried for a day straight. I had to take a few days off from work to gather my thoughts and process the news in was just given. Down Syndrome is scary when you first hear it, and depending on who your dr is,being given that news can be frightening. Fortunately my dr was amazing and never said anything negative about his possible diagnosis. Fast forward 9 days and I get this call. They're sure my son has a 99.9 % chance of having DS. Some how actually recieving a positive diagnosis helped me. I spent those 9 days grieving over who I thought and expected my last child to be,I grieved over my other children's childhood possibly being turned upside down and my own life changing in ways I wasnt sure I could handle. But after the grief,came excitement and joy. My son was born at 34 weeks (early because I had severe hypertension) on Dec 24th 2018. My Christmas miracle. He has Down Syndrome, but luckily none of the health problems that are normally associated with it. He's amazing, and funny and the easiest baby I've ever had. Hes our joy,and light. I guess what I'm trying to say to anyone facing a difficult diagnosis is to have faith. Have faith that everything will be okay no matter what.

Kristi, you are so precious and deserve this more than anyone! You are going to be such an awesome mom. Don’t sweat the small stuff. And everything will seem small once you see that beautiful baby of yours and get to hold it in your arms for the first time. Im sending all my love and thoughts your way. You got this! 💜💜

Omg the baby is gonna have such beautiful green eyes😍❤️i really hope everything goes fine, you got it girl🙏 you 2 deserve the best ❤️🥺

Kristy as a ultrasound technician I have seen thousands of eif and they usually mean nothing! They have to say something legally. And your placenta has time you to move. Sending you love

Who the hell has the audacity to say something bad to Kristi??? This cute has to be protected at all costs!!!!!

My whole heart goes out to you. I truly hope you get everything your heart desires. I hope in my heart the baby is healthy and you are healthy. Do not let anyone make you feel bad for being disappointed about having to change your birth plan. The hardest thing to do as an expectant mother is to let go of all your expectations and realize you can't control some things. The most beautiful thing is that your body is growing a human!! You are powerful. You are strong. You are amazing. You got this girl!

Congratulations I just saw my first video of you finding out you two are pregnant. Made me cry with joy for your family. So today I went from never saw you before to twenty weeks along. How awesome. So happy for you.

Let’s keep the comments positive, guys! As if women don’t go through enough during pregnancy, the negative thoughts and comments aren’t needed! 🖤

Imagine being so miserable that you leave hateful comments on a beautiful pregnant woman’s social media. That MUST be a new low?

Gah i just love you. You have amazing energy that is luring. I actually came across you through a ttc group i am in when you found out you were pregnant. I've been hooked since. I have been ttc for 13 years and feel like it's just in my cards to be a mom. That's ok. It's still on my mind 24/7 but I got custody of my 5 nephews and this is my new life. I'm lucky to have them. A huge congratulations to you because I know how hard ttc is, especially for so long. You'll be in my prayers but I have faith everything will turn out perfectly. How can it not? Look at how amazing you are!

I had a c section and my daughter i also believe had a white spot on her heart. My c section went great and my daughter is turning 6 in November! No issues with her heart and she is 100% healthy! I know it doesnt always help but I hope it helps a little to calm nerves. Prayers to you and your little growing family!

When my mom was pregnant with me her doctors told her that I would be born with down syndrome. They tried to convince her to have an abortion but at that point she had already experienced multiple miscarriages and she didn't care if I'd be born with down syndrome as long as I was healthy. Well I was born completely healthy, I'm now 23 years old and am living my life grateful every day that my mom decided to love me no matter how I came out. She's also now a special education teacher for k-1st grade children on a Native American reservation and I'm so proud of the work she's doing there for those children❤

Here's my limited input as an ex-midwife. Firstly, you have every right to feel scared, sad, disheartened, elated, joyous, worried, or any other emotion at any time. Never feel the need to apologise for emotions. On the subject of EIF, it's a lot more common than many might think, usually, a good 1 in 20 are found to have an EIF. It does not affect the way the heart works or develops and it doesn't have any impact on the health of the baby. It's a common ultrasound finding of a normal developmental variation. You don't have to feel like your anxiety is any less valid, and I know the likelihood of this is slim - but if you want to comment here I am more than happy to provide some links to further reading to help arm yourself with that to help because as they say, knowledge is power. ETA: I have just watched a little more of the video and see you've been doing your best at research - EIF alone does not necessarily indicate a higher chance of Down's; it's just one of several 'markers' that when combined with other markers can indicate a possibility. Some markers are far more significant of an increased or 'high' risk (thickened nuchal fold, dilated ventricles in the brain, an abnormal artery to the upper extremities, or of even greater significance, an absent or small nose bone). I don't know how it goes where you are specifically, but I have heard in the past that American mothers are often informed they are high risk just on the presence of a single marker, which to me is quite utterly crazy!!! The unjust worry that must cause is beyond me! Regarding a low-lying placenta, there is a good chance it will indeed move up as you grow, which is also quite common during further development. I hope that to be the case for you because I can appreciate how worrying it must be to hear lists of 'complications' something can cause and it can be very hard when this then changes the 'plan'. I used to work with pregnant women who had problems with things like anxiety, depression, and other issues (not relating this to you, just explaining my background) so often we would work through birth plans in a slightly different way and actually make several broad plans at once. We would start with 'the plan', the 'this is how I want my birth to be' type of plan, but then also make plans for scenarios b, c, d, etc. The ultimate goal was to plan for a safe delivery for both mum and baby and while no plan can be perfect when it comes to having babies, many of the mums I worked with found it easier when something happened to impact on a birth plan and they could acknowledge their feelings and still say 'But I've got a plan for this'. What is important is to not fall foul of that catastrophising and end up making a lot of 'worst-case scenario' plans and unduly stressing yourself out worrying about things that may not happen. Keep it broad, plan for home, plan for the hospital, plan for early, plan for late. I'm sure your midwives will be more than happy to help guide you along. As for home births being cancelled indefinitely with COVID-19, I'm so sorry. That one sadly, no one could prepare for. You feel what you need to feel about it because that is your right. Grieve for it for as long as you need to know and try to take comfort in knowing that the decision has been made to protect you and your baby in every way possible.

I'm actually so happy for you both expecting your first baby❤❤ I watched your first video where you found out you were expecting after so long,and i cried so hard. I really now can't wait for you both to finally meet your baby!!! God bless you all!! Much love from me in the UK during coronaviruslockdown ❤❤

I found out I was pregnant a few days before you announced your pregnancy. I was so excited. I only have one child who's 12 and I never thought I'd get a chance to have another. I've had to attend my appointments alone. I got my first ultrasound and learned that I was carrying twins and lost one. All I wanted was my partner there to comfort me but I had to sit alone while dealing with the fact that I lost a baby. It sucked. But, I'm still super grateful to have the other baby. I adore you, Kristi, and I'm praying for you, Zack and baby

My baby has a calcified spot on his heart at out 20 week ultrasound and he’s perfectly healthy! He also had other signs that pointed to Down’s syndrome but they were not what they thought! I actually have a calcified spot on my heart too! Baby Kristi is fine! I promise!

Who TF is being mean to this beautiful soul? She is growing a human, from scratch, and doesn't need any of your BS. When it's your baby, you do what you want. LEAVE KRISTI ALONE!!!!! Congrats to Kristi, I know how hard your struggle was to get here.

Hey kristi, I just found your channel, just want to tell you that I'm so happy to hear good news in the middle of this 2020 crazyness. Sending love and prayer ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love watching your videos and I love how every since you found out that you were pregnant it's like a spark lit inside you and you just are glowing and sooooo positive and it warms my heart and I'm so excited for y'all I know y'all will be amazing parents

Me: *coming to the comment section to fight people who are making Kristi feel bad* 😤😠😡🤬👊💪🖕👋

I was pregnant 26 years ago, and got bitched at for complaining that I was hot (I had a baby at the end of August, of COURSE I was hot), my belly itched, my back hurt, or my feet were swollen. That so many people would love to be in my position. Your feelings are VALID. This kind of nonsense is part of the reason why my daughter is an only child.

Awww Kristi! I'm sure this is devastating to hear but I know you will be so thrilled once the baby is here and you won't have to think about it anymore! You got this girl! I

I’m praying for you hard! I’m a doula and a mom and you have every right to feel the way you feel. Lots of love and good vibes being sent your way 💖

Me looking at the tv talking to Kristi as if she can hear me: Everything will be fine. Your baby will be great and you will be great. I am putting it out there. xoxox

Hey Kristi! I had a low lying placenta with my oldest. It seems scary but it is okay. Mine didn’t move, so after a lot of crying, I decided to have a c section. If thats what happens to you, it would NOT make you less of a mother, ever. I had a midwife, she was super fucking rude and disrespectful about having a c section. Suggesting I was lazy, but it came down to the safety of my child. You got this mama!

"Aw, thanks! I love you with my whole heart!" 🥺💜

I'm 32+5 today! I'm so excited for you, pregnancy is wonderful and I really hope you love it 🥰 as you're a high-risk pregnancy they will go through everything with doctors before telling you so don't worry too much! Sending love and good health ❤

I had to come back to say, my mother had four children including me &she's also a petite lady &her stomach also got shredded with stretch marks &my dad always referred to it as 'the roadmap of motherhood' &I think that's very sweet. 💜

My son has Down Syndrome and sure I didn't wish that on him but he's the most amazing beautiful lifeform in the universe! The medical issues at first was rough but you two have the patience love and temperament to raise such an angel like that. I hope and pray for a healthy baby for you. However if you get a special little human then that too I hope will be beautiful and full of love.

I actually love hearing about your pregnancy and how you are glowing with excitement about it. I hope for the best and send positive vibes your way. when I was pregnant I got stretch marks in the last term I hated them, i am also 5ft lol, but I've grown to love them and when you finally hold your baby you won't even care about them, dont get me wrong its taking me awhile to grow to love myself but seeing my little girl everyday healthy happy and cheeky im so grateful for what my body did. xxxx 😍💗🥰

We love hello fresh. We got our first order and it was great. We tried to order again and no luck we are out of the delivery zone. It will all be great stay positive as you can be at this point. I was told at sixteen I would never carry a child, five year later after being married for three years what a surprise pregnant. I now have a daughter and two granddaughters. Keep the faith.

It is okay to mourn the loss of how you thought your birth would go.

I paused my phone and said probably one of the most real prayers I’ve ever prayed my entire life. I typically don’t speak my prayers out loud but in my head but I felt compelled to speak it out loud. My husband watched your announcement video and he immediately prayed for the health and safety of your pregnancy. I don’t tend to talk about prayer and my biblical or “religious” beliefs (I believe in God but I don’t with man made religious tactics and toxic beliefs) but I have never had that experience before. I was driving while I prayed and my entire body started tingling and I just felt this overwhelming sense of peace, and I asked for God to please do the same to you and protect you and your baby and your family and Zach. Sorry if this all sounds crazy and over the top. I just want for this to go well for you so so bad, you deserve it more then anyone. I adore you and have for so long. Love you girl 💕

Omgoodness, Kristi I also had placenta previa. I had a c section and everything was fine. I'm here if you have any questions. You guys are in my thoughts and sending positive vibes. Surgeons and Dr are so good at working miracles these days.

Sending happy thoughts your way. Nothing is worse than mama stressing and worrying too much, so enjoy your pregnancy and know that your baby is going to be absolutely perfect to you and your husband no matter what. Growing this baby is a miracle already, so have faith that RawBeautyBaby is growing just the way they are meant to be! Sending love to you guys.

I'm not sure of you will see this or if it will matter and Ive also never been pregnant, but I am someone who was born with a condition called tricuspid atresia. Basically my tricuspid valve didn't form correctly and my whole right ventricle formed wrong. I have half a heart and had two life saving surgeries as an infant and have grown to be a 25 year old thriving human being who is still capable and able to live life normally. Yes it has impacted my life , and since one of my surgeries was new when they preformed it on me I have some unexpected issues, BUT I am alive and thriving. Like I said, I know this isn't your exact situation or perhaps not helpful, I just feel like you may find a tiny bit of hope that even if the baby has a cardiac issue, us heart defect babies have a fighting chance often times. You're strong!

You and Zach being cute to each other gave me...the most serotonin I’ve had in years

They told me that about my baby’s heart, too. She was born 100% healthy! She turns 3 this week and she has never had any problems. I bet it’s nothing! Always sending positive vibes your way ❤️

Hi love! My second little one had a spot on her heart as well during ultrasound. She had to see a cardiologist at 6 months because of a little murmur. When we went to check it out it was gone and the spot cleared up. Never had to go back or have an issue ever since! I hope that is reassuring, although I know everyone is different, I just don’t want you to feel alone!!!!

Literally teared up with “it’s a mom joke” 😭😭😭😭😭 KRISTI UR A MOM😭

My sister is 28 weeks and her placenta was low lying at 20 weeks and it’s now moved! It can happen, it’ll all be alright ❤️

You’re so awesome!! I wish I’d been so wise with my first baby! You’re taking everything in stride and really feeling your feelings! You’re knowing all your options! You’re going to be an amazing mom 👍

When I was pregnant with my first they told me I had an amniotic band. It's basically a thread that is loose inside the sac and can lead to birth defects or even death. I was absolutely terrified for the majority of my pregnancy. I had to come to terms with so many different possibilities and it was so nerve racking. I now have a beautiful healthy 8 year old daughter with absolutely no health issues. I know how stressful your situation is but I'm loving your outlook of this whole stressful situation. "It is what it is but that doesn't mean it doesn't still suck." This is basically how I try to live my life.
