A member asked:
If a placenta has an extra lobe is it always connected to the main placenta? is it possible it could be hidden and not seen at delivery (c-section)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sonogram: Accessory lobes will always be connected in some capacity. They are usually seen by sonogram. Yes they can be missed during delivery. It would be hard to miss during a c section as the doctor is able to physically look inside of the uterus fairly easily.
