Anterior Placenta C Section

An anterior placenta is a placenta that has attached to the front of the uterus.

Anterior placenta c section. I did have major blood loss but anterior placenta was not the reason it was emerg section after a hard labour and uterus just wouldnt contract. A c section is not a walk in the park to recover from with a new baby to deal with and has risks that have nothing to do with. An anterior placenta should pose no greater risk of a retained placenta.

Caesarian sections can also be difficult when the placenta is anterior as incisions in the abdomen must be very carefully made to avoid cutting the placenta which could cause heavy bleeding. When should i call the doctor about a placenta problem. An anterior placenta is also not an issue with c section deliveries unless the placenta is low.

I would seriously consider giving ecv a go it is minutes of discomfort a c section is worse than that. There is some risk of the placenta growing in to the old scar and there is also some risk while doing the c s cutting through the placenta to get to the baby. The placenta the organ that nourishes baby through pregnancy typically attaches to the uterus in the back posterior though it can attach anywhere including the sides top bottom also known as placenta previa and the front anterior.

In that case the doctor will do an ultrasound to find the safest place to make the incision and deliver the baby. It is diagnosed during an ultrasound. I ve seen women with anterior placentas have c sections before.

A low lying anterior placenta could be in the area where a typical c section incision is made. If the placenta blocks all or a portion of your cervix during labor a cesarean delivery commonly known as a c section is required.
