Do most woman survive c sections with placenta previa? i am 32 weeks with a complete previa and very scared baby/i wont make it through the surgery?

Both should do well: It is important to keep in close contact with your OB and have a plan in place for any signs of early labor. Whether you start labor today or 8 wks from now, the idea is to get into the hospital where the c-section can be completed before labor can tear the placenta. If you start to feel pains, stop eating or drinking anything (prepare for possible surgery) & call immediately.

See below: This operation does carry some risk to you and the baby. The surgical and anesthesia team will be prepared for these eventualities. You need to be at a hospital that has a high-risk OB unit and can manage this issue.
