kicks a hand can feel

so I'm just sitting here working on a project, and Baby Jordan is on a kicking fest....kicking me at least half a dozen times. And at one point I put my project down and had my hands on my belly, and I felt the next kick through my skin! So, I rush over so AJ can feel it, and of course, Baby Jordan decides to stop kicking.  Oh well, one of these days!

Also, I just got an email today from my doctor that has me a little bit concerned. Here is word for word, what I got:

"I hope you are feeling well. I wanted to let you know that the ultrasound that you had showed that the baby had normal anatomy. It did show that the placenta is still very close to the cervix, which is what we call a "marginal previa." Usually as the uterus grows, the placenta grows away from the cervix and is no longer covering the cervix. Basically, we will need to repeat the ultrasound around 28 weeks to make sure that the placenta has moved. In the meantime, no special precautions unless you experience vaginal bleeding. "

So this got me concerned, and I wanted to know worst case scenario and such. It looks like at the very worst I may have to deliver early and/or have a C-section if the placenta does not grow away from the cervix. But the chances of that are slim, so I'm not going to worry for now. However, I'm not excited about having to repeat that particular ultrasound as it was quite uncomfortable laying there with an extremely full bladder as someone pushed in on my belly to get the required pictures of the baby that he was looking for. But that's ok, anything to make sure I'm having a healthy pregnancy.
