Not thinking of having another right now. But genuine question for the future.
I had one very long difficult vaginal birth with dd now aged 9. So I opted for an elective section with ds 8 months ago.
As soon as they started there was a huge panic ... turned out I had undiagnosed placenta previa.
I had had no symptoms or bleeding at all during the pregnancy.
During the section I lost nearly 3 litres of blood, had two blood transfusions in recovery afterwards. I was in hospital for a week.
Would I be mad to even consider another?
Or was it just a case of bad luck and if they had been more prepared maybe it wouldn't have been so bad?
Thanks.

placenta previa - does having it once make it more likely to happen again? anyone had more than one child after severe bleeding during c section?
