Dr. PAUL EUN answered

Possible: It depends on how much you bleed during pregnancy and at the time of delivery. I f you had a previous cesarean section, your risk of having placenta accreta (placenta invading into the uterine wall) is increased as well as that of blood transfusion. Talk to your doctor.
