    Re: Placenta previa with suspected accreta

    A girlfriend of mine had undiagnosed placenta accreta. We nearly lost her and the baby on the operating table. It was so absolutely traumatic for the entire family that they're still getting over it two years later.

    Another girlfriend of mine had diagnosed placenta accreta. She was well managed, medically, and although she was unable to keep her uterus, she had a lot of support and counselling during the pregnancy and birth and afterwards, which was massively helpful.

    Is there any way the hospital can provide you with a counsellor or social worker to talk things through with? I see you've done a huge amount of research, and armed with knowledge of the issue, I truly hope and pray that you can work out the best pathway forward with your medical team.

    Sending you best wishes.
