Hi, hoping for some experiences from others who've been through this or similar - at my 20 week scan last week the sonographer mentioned my placenta was over my previous caesarean scars. Had a consultant appointment yesterday, and he explained I was at high risk of placenta accreta, and what that could mean (longer operation during caesarean, possible serious bleeding, possible need for transfusion, potentially a hysterectomy if they can't stop the bleeding), which was very scary. It's not confirmed placenta accreta yet, just a possibility from the position of the placenta if it doesn't move - I have another scan booked at 28 weeks to check again.
Has anyone been high risk for this before, and what was the outcome? Thanks.
