Also had placenta accreta.4 weeks ago i gave birth to my second little girl.after it was discovered that i had a retained placenta like in my 1st pregnancy.But this time was more complicated,i lost loads of blood,had to have hysterectomy and ended up in ITU.NOw i find this all hard to believe asking myself all sorts of questions.could the condition have been seen on scans? could i have had some warning? Were some of my pregnancy problems because of this like bleeding all the 9 mths?
