I'm not trying to be dramatic but am feeling really scared and emotional about this.
I went to another ultrasound today and the Dr. came in with concern all over her face advising that in addition to having an anterior placenta and 100% placenta previa, I may also have Placenta Accreta too. She was going to call my doctor right away and stressed that this puts me at even greater risk of hemmorage during my c-section. Google is not reasurring. I have a section planned for 37+2 next Tuesday. Thankfully I've had no bleeding to date but its like pins and needles waiting and knicker checking constantly. Seems now though that regardless this is likely going to be quite high risk to me and to baby.
I am sitting here crying just feeling terrified at how severe this surgery is sounding with each passing ultrasound.
I guess I just want to hear that OBGYN's deal with this all the time and that this is no big deal for them - they will have it covered. I want to hear that I'm going to be there for my kids and my husband. Unless its not true of course. My Dr. is so non-chalant about everything - it makes me distrust her a bit TBH.
