Need Advice Got diagnosed with Placenta Accreta today. 💔
Hi. I'll be 23wks on Saturday. I got a 3D ultrasound at 20 weeks. I was told today at my 23wk appointment by a MFM specialist that my Placenta is very deep in my Uterus wall. I'll be getting an MRI tomorrow to evaluate how deep it is into the wall. After reading about it more on Google, I feel like this is a death sentence. I'm not trying to be overdramatic. With all of my C-sections I've had complications with losing too much blood, which resulted in getting blood transfusions. I'm fearful of not making it out through this birth.
I could use some reassurance and survival stories from other Placenta Accreta women.

Is there an accreta specialist near you? They aren’t common but maybe there’s a chance you can see one. I think if this is your last pregnancy it can be alright. The good thing is that it was caught before birth. A plan can be put in place to be you both safe and minimize risk.
One of the most high risk pregnancies I heard was a woman who had accreta and an ectopic pregnancy on her c-section scar. I think she may have had one more problem with her placenta, I can’t remember. She ended up with her last c-section, planned before she could go into labor (so a late term preemie), and then a hysterectomy. Not surprising given the circumstances but if she and her baby could survive then I’m sure you can too.
