Hello it was me who went through this. I had 5 previous c-sections and right away my Doctor suspected placenta previa and accreta. I had a lot of bleeding early on and thought I was going to loose the baby. They had me come in for ultrasounds once a week. At my 20 week scan I was diagnosed with placenta percreta and a complete placenta previa. I was told how risky it was to continue the pregnancy and my husband was scared to death that I would die. I was sent to see a high risk specialist for the last weeks of my pregnancy. At 28 weeks I started bleeding and was sent to the hospital on complete bed rest and at 32 weeks they decided it couldn't go on anymore. The placenta had grown though my bladder and was very invasive. I had a very planned c-section with many many Doctors there's to help in different areas. They cut me all the way up and down to get my daughter out to avoid going in close to the placenta and DID NOT take the placenta out. They felt that if they did I would bleed to death... It has been a long recovery. Many ups and downs. A 20 day nicu stay for my daughter. Im 6 1/2 months pp now and still have the placenta in me. The plan was for it to shrink away from my bladder so they could go in and do hysterectomy and remove the rest but it's still in my bladder and had shrank about about half way now out of my uterus. Im having an mri or ultrasound monthly to watch it and now their thinking they might just let it go away on it's own unless a have a large bleed that they can't stop or an infection that wont go away. I have had a few infections already but they were able to treat them. My baby girl is a very healthy and doing wonderful. I would do it all again for her. I really hope things turn out alright for you and your little one. Im here to talk if you want or have any questions. You can pm me for my email. *hugs*
My heart is in pain for you and I pray for peace in whatever decision you make. I wish the world over that this little baby would have implanted in a favourable position for you. (((Hugs)))
I am so sorry to hear what's going on :sad: you and baby are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs
I am so so sorry to read this. Yes, get a second opinion (the doc will totally understand and may be able to suggest someone) and get them to break it down into the raw facts. I want to say just hope that everything will be OK and maybe it will be but unfortunately life isn't always like that. I think you have to go with the experts opinion when all has been investigated and considered. Like you say, you could very well be left with nothing. If this pregnancy really doesn't stand a chance you actually have no choice as it will have the same result with or without intervention. Sorry to be so negative I just think at times my normal fluffy advice isn't useful or helpful. Big hugs.
I went in yesterday for an ultrasound. They thought it was either a cervical ectopic or a c-section scar ectopic. So they rushed me into Brigham and Women's in Boston to meet with the head of radiology since this is something that is hardly ever seen.
Turns out, its the worst of both evils. This baby implanted in my uterine scar and that is where the placenta is, but the baby is growing in my cervix.
So they need to get it out asap because if they wait the sac can burst and I will hemmorage into my stomach and die.
But the problem is that they can't do a "regular" d&c because the placenta is embedded into my uterine scar. So they have to make 4 incisions in my abdomen, clamp my veins to try to prevent me from bleeding out while they cut the scar and placenta out of my uterus and then stitch my uterus back together in hopes to save it.
The good news is (if there is any) that if the surgery is successful, it will smooth out my uterine wall where the scarring was and my uterus will be stronger and in better shape after the surgery than it was before.
My surgery is at 1pm today. I am scared as hell. I just want all the go well and they tell me it was successful and I will be fine to have another child.
Prayer for my uterus
