    So yesterday my midwife let me know that when I had my anatomy scan they noted that the baby's placenta is in the front, but they didn't note whether it's on my csection scar. Evidently if it's covering the scar this can be a problem. The midwife is going to call the u/s dept to see and get back to me either Friday or Monday.

    Anybody else have experience with this? I have never heard of it before. :huh:

    I believe the concern is that if the placenta is over the incision, it can actually grow through the scar tissue to the outside of the uterus (placenta accreta) however I can't imagine that if they had seen that on the u/s they wouldn't have made a point of being clear about it on the report. :hug: Hopefully your midwife will be able to get back to you ASAP. I always hate the waiting part.

    It's crazy to think my/her placenta might be trying to escape the uterus!

    I'm not too happy with this u/s department generally speaking anyway. I've had two u/s : the first was very painful and the 2nd was a resident learning on me- it took 30 min to get 3 angles!

    I am going through this right now. I will have another ultrasound near the end to check on this as I'm hoping to attempt a VBA2C. Not to scare you, but I had a friend lose her baby and uterus because the placenta grew through her c-section scar. It makes me nervous to. I would totally push to find out the placement of the placenta in regards to your scar.
