<1% risk of death.: If you have never had a D&C nor c-section before, your risk of placenta previa/accreta is <1%, as is your risk of dying during such delivery in the us (i.e. With modern care at a tertiary hospital with expert surgeons and a large blood bank). If you have had a D&C or c-section, the prognosis is much poorer, with up to 7% risk of death from previa accreta even with the best of care.
