The Baukus Family

I was diagnosed with placenta previa pretty early in my pregnancy, then at 20 weeks they also identified a possible accreta. At 24 weeks and 3 days I started bleeding and was admitted into Labor & Delivery of Avera Hospital, then spent the next 2 1/2 weeks there bleeding daily. On October 12, I started cramping so my doctors did a scan and could see my placenta starting to abrupt along with my daughter's heart rate beginning to drop. I had an emergency c section and my daughter was born at 27 weeks and 1 day weighting 2 pounds 6 ounces. She is almost 3 weeks old and is doing good every day but we have a long road ahead of us.
