We are trying for our second baby but in my first pregnancy I had an anterior placenta (where the placenta lays between the baby and your stomack muscles, rather than the baby and your back). LUCKILY it was not low lying and i was able to give birth normally, but if it had been low lying (placenta praevia/previa) i would have had a c-section.
I am worried that this could happen again, so i would like to know how common it is to have 2 anterior placentas in succession, or is it rare to have it happen a second time? The first time was apparently very unusual in first time pregnancies and there was no reason for it. The doctor could not say whether or not it could happen again!! The only side effects I had were a HUGE placenta as it had more space to grow, and i didn't feel any kicking under my ribs! I'm just a bit worried that if it happens again it could be low lying and i would need a c-section - i'm terrified of surgery!
Sensible answers only please!!!
