I had an emergency section with an anterior placenta, didn't cause any problems (section incision is very low down, I guess it would only be an issue if the placenta was anterior and low?).

When they have dun dopplers they catch the placenta heart rush low down, I know my placenta is thin and large, the sonographer described it as if u blow up a balloon ur placenta covers one side wholly???!! I'm just scared that they might miss sumthing and it goes tits up! I dnt mnd idea of hystorectomy I hate periods but it wasn't on my to do list at 29!
