placenta accreta

Has anyone ever had a placenta accreta and had a successful pregnancy with another child? I had placenta accreta with my last pregnancy (5 months ago) and I am now pregnant again and I'm really worried about it.
Placenta accreta is when the placenta grows through the uterine wall and doesn't detach.

  • Based on my internet search there are multiple variables. This is a question best answered by your provider.

  • I met a lady who was able to have one more, but then had to have a hysterectomy. Sorry that's not helpful at all. I was dx with placenta accreta at my last US. Having a follow up today so we'll see. How did your delivery go 5 mos ago?
  • My delivery was wonderful 5 months ago , went very smooth until my placenta didn't want to come out. I was rushed to the hospital (homebirth ) due to hemorrhage. They saved my uterus, I had no idea what accreta was. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant so soon or at all again. I'm pregnant with number 5.
    My provider said I will have a hysterectomy with this birth. It breaks my heart. I had all my kids at home and now I am forced to do a c-section with hysterectomy. I'm just keeping my hopes up that by some act of God I can save my uterus and give birth vaginally (in hospital) . Thank you ladies for your input.
  • Wow! So glad you didn't hemorrhage at home without making it to the hospital. You are so lucky to be alive!! Are they monitoring you super closely this time?
