A member asked:

I am 20wk preg. 38, previous cesarean. placenta in front of uterus, so follow up sono at 28w is scheduled. no placenta acretta yet. what r the chances?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A complicated PG: Your age and previous C/section will increase the odds that the placenta will adhere to the old C/section scar and stay there without migrating upwards as in most pregnancies. Good Luck!
