Hello,
I'm not really sure who to speak to at the moment so I'm just going to write some stuff here and hope people have advice.
So at my 20 week scan, the sonographer told me I could have placenta accreta and said I would need an MRI at 28 weeks and that was pretty much it. The dr after the appointment basically said the same thing. I didn't think anything of it as the dr told me not to worry as I have none of the 'risk' factors such as a previous section, being 22 etc. However, recently I've been getting more and more anxious and concerned and I feel quite left in the dark.
I got the sonographer's letter and it says some quite scary things on it such as 'vascularity seen at placenta bladder junction' and 'multiple placental lakes' and I feel as though none of this has been explained to me. My MRI has yet to be booked in and I've had letters through about growth scans (which was also never mentioned) and another weird letter about a random appointment at the hospital which hasn't been explained for when I am 30 weeks pregnant.
I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant, I haven't really felt baby move (though I am a FTM) and I don't see my midwife again for a further two weeks. I do not know who to contact to address my concerns and feel like I am being left to deal with some pretty scary news alone.
A friend of mine said when the sonographer thought she had placenta accreta, she was referred for another scan at around 25/26 weeks pregnant (which came back clear) but I wasn't offered this and was told I just needed the MRI.
I'm not really sure what help I'm asking for here, I'm just a FTM, been googling way too much and I am just very scared and anxious and have no clue who to speak to regarding all of this.
Thank you for reading my ramble!
