C-sections

C Sect with an anterior placenta?

The Dr. says because of my AP, they will have to cut through it during the C/S resulting in extra blood loss. He does not seem concerned, but I am ha ha. Anyone with experience?

Re: C Sect with an anterior placenta?

  • DD2 had an anterior placenta.  Wasn't an issue.  I don't know whether it was higher than the incision site so he didn't have to go through it, or he did have to go through it and didn't say anything.  No problem, either way.

  • I had ER c/s so it wasn't discussed with me ahead of time.  I did have an anterior placenta and it didn't seem to be an issue.  They never said anything about it after.

  • I've had an anterior placenta with every PG (this one included). No real issues for my c-section, but my OB does tell me that I lose a lot of blood.

  • They didn't have to cut through my AP during my c/s and I lost just an average or below amount of blood.
