Some complications..

We visited her gynac a couple of days back to get a review of the ultrasound report. Apparently, Akshaya has a condition called the "low-lying placenta", or "placenta praevia". It basically means that the placenta forms in the lower half of the womb, rather than the more common upper-half. From what I could find on the www, it seems to be a frequently occurring phenomenon, which heals by itself in most cases. One of our friends also had a similar condition, which got cured in a couple of months' time. Another ultrasound is on charts pretty soon..

Not one of "those" things that we should be alarmed about - we left the clinic with a prescription of "complete bed rest, no travelling and lots of precautions". Air travel seems to be permitted, but we don't see an immediate need of travelling.. will keep it safe and simple :)
