High-Risk Pregnancy

At that
time I was advised against having future children, I was sad but made
my peace with it. Fast forward 10 years and I find myself pregnant
unexpectedly. My husband and I are so excited, and terrified about this
pregnancy.
I
am currently 18 weeks and had an ultrasound yesterday showing that I
have Partial Placenta Previa, the placenta is lying right over my old
C-section scars. This is what they warned me about after my last
pregnancy. I have a significant amount of scar tissue as well as a
uterine dihiscence in the lower segment of my uterus.
I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if the placenta has moved up, which we are praying for.
Anyone have any words of wisdom or similar situations.
When is placenta accreta normally visible? Would they have seen this at my 18 week ultasound if it was going to happen?

Hi, My name is Jody, Was wondering if anyone could provide some info on placenta previa and the chances of it becoming placenta accreta.
I
delivered my last son (10 years ago) via c- section after a failed
VBAC. During the labor attempt my uterus and bladder ruptured, It was a
scary thing but my son and I both made it through. The main concern up to this point was to
have a solid plan for c-section at 36 weeks to avoid another uterine
rupture. The baby had implanted high up in the uterus, so they were sure
that the placenta would follow suit... unfortunately it did not.
Re: Placenta Previa after uterine rupture, Placenta Accreta?
Fingers crossed for your follow up appointments - will be thinking of you!
free to message me if you have any questions!
The dr checked at 24, 28 and 32 weeks to see if my placenta moved and for accreta. Accreta can develop later in pregnancy.
Fingers crossed for you that your placenta moves up and you avoid accreta.
