When does RBWH do sections for previa/accreta?

[Jessykasmum]

Hi girls
Thanks for the responses.

I'm less than thrilled to be having to go back to the RBWH - last time I was there, my care was awful - but that's a whole other post

My next appointment is this Thursday - we're hoping to find out for sure about the accreta, though I have a feeling I have it. My u/s tech called the the day after my u/s to say that he's happy with my placenta and that he's still not sure about the accreta, and to speak to my doctor at my appointment this week.

I guess it's just a waiting game - I wont find out what date my section is until 13th of July at the earliest... I just hope she doesn't have to come too early

thanks again for the responses.

Hey Jessykazmum,

I have placenta accreta with this pregnancy but I am going to Redlands Hospital. I have a scan to place exactly where my placenta is at 32 weeks then we can go from there to when as I will be having my c/s. Dr's told me I can go as early as 36 weeks depending on where it is placed and how big bubs is and I could go as late as 41 weeks if I wanted to. Just all depends on this scan.

They are telling me from my 21 week scan thatonly the tip and not my whole placenta is sitting on the scar.

Definately ask for some more infomation on it as it is a very indepth process apparently just depending on how and where it is sitting.

HTP!!!

Thanks for the info hon.

They;ve decided that they can't say for sure if I've got accreta or not, so they're treating me like I have it and am having my little girl next week - 36w4d. Because of the chance of bleeding etc, I have to have her under general anesthetic which I'm not too pleased about - I thought I'd let you know that because it might be a possibility for you.

I'm really not looking forward to next Wednesday LOL I can't wait to meet my baby, but I don't want to have the op first Silly huh.

Thanks for that info. I have already told the Drs there is no way that I will be going under a general until bubs is out and I at least get to see him/her.

Hi JessyKasmum & ACJ,

Just wondering how you guys went with your possible accreta problems?

I am currently 17.5 weeks along and had an emergency scan yesterday because of some bleeding. My placenta is low lying anterior (about 1cm from my cervix but is completely covering my previous caesarean scar)

I'm terrified of accreta. I just have a really bad feeling about it.
How did you guys go?
