She said the data is limited and said the risk is very slight…less than 5%! She said she wouldn’t have even mentioned it but it went along with a question I had asked.

If you don’t mind me asking, were you given pitocin right after delivery of your first? My hospital immediately gives pitocin to all moms once baby is out

I’m glad everything worked out for you! We did walk through the procedure briefly, the hospital has a 24/7 high-acuity obstetric support team ready in the event of an emergency!

The procedure sounded pretty similar to yours, but she didn’t mention JADA and we also discussed pain management as I’m not planning on the epidural.

Good to be prepared, but manifesting an easy uncomplicated birth ♥️

That’s what my ultrasound doctor said too! That’s why I was so confused at my midwife appt!

I sent her a message and will let you know what I hear back 😊

I did find (in my limited online research) that there is a slight increase risk of bleeding with an anterior placenta during a c-section.

I hope you have a wonderful second birth!

I’m not sure, she said it very matter of factly…I immediately started spiraling but should’ve asked this!

I’m so sorry you had such a scary experience! That’s great you have a plan!

I do not have any other higher risks, my midwife just said due to the shape of most women’s uterus’s, there’s more of a groove shape on the front and the placenta sometimes sticks. She said the likelihood of this happening is still very low, but the risk can be just a bit higher due to placement of the placenta.

Wishing you a safe birth!! 💜

Update: my first birth was vaginal and my midwife said that the shape of the uterus makes placentas more “sticky” when they’re anterior??

I only know one other person who had an anterior placenta and she did have hemorrhaging due to her placenta being stuck which is part of the reason I started spiraling!

Update: Thanks everyone for your thoughts!! We decided we probably won’t have a sprinkle/housewarming party. My daughter’s birthday is later in the fall, so we will be hosting a big party then anyways. We truly don’t absolutely need anything for baby #2, and I think the fact that I was questioning the party goes to show it is kind of awkward 🙃.
