[quote=Anonymous]We are considering trying for a second--we have two embryos left in the freezer, and we'd really love to at least try to give DS a sibling. We know there are no guarantees--it took three years of failure and heartache just to get DS.

Anyway, DS came out perfectly, but the delivery got complicated fast. I had an accreta that had been missed. It was removed manually, took 2+ hours to remove, and I had multiple blood transfusions. It was an ordeal. I know of exactly one person who has conceived and carried to term after an accreta, and that was--randomly--Kim Kardashian, who after a second accreta, passed things on to a surrogate for number three. Not exactly helpful in terms of knowing what to expect.

My doctors say it's ok to try, though the birth would be very, very managed. What I want to know is whether anyone here had this experience before? Was it really possible? Did it change your pregnancy significantly? Do you have any advice? I'm a little terrified--not just of the potential heartache (which we know) but also of the unknown of having had a prior accreta.

In case this isn't familiar to you, an accreta is when the placenta actually grows into the muscle of the uterus, or--in even worse cases--into the organs beyond the uterus. It is TOTALLY different from placenta previa, which is a completely different condition.
