A member asked:
I have an anterior placenta and need a c section. dr didn't mention this would be an issue but google listed major complications? should i be concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anterior: Depends upon how far the lower edge of the placenta extends. If it is low lying it may need to be cut through in order to get to the baby. This could result in extra blood loss. Prior to your section discuss this issue with your OB.
