where does placenta attach
Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy complication that can occur when the placenta attaches itself too deeply into the uterine wall. Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy complication that can occur when the placenta attaches itself too deeply into the uterine wall. This causes part or all of the placenta to stay firmly attached to the uterus during childbirth. Placenta accreta can result in severe bleeding after delivery. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), 1 in 533 American women experience placenta accreta each year. In some cases of placenta accreta, a womanâs placenta will attach so deeply into the uterine wall that it attaches to uterine muscle. This is called placenta increta. It can even go more deeply through the uterine wall and into another organ, such as the bladder.
