What is placenta accreta syndrome - and why aren’t women being told about it?
“My pregnancy started off normally, but at eight weeks, and then at 16 weeks, I had heavy bleeding and I started panicking.” Chloe Robinson, 34, was scanned and told her placenta was lying really low in her uterus and this was causing the bleeding.
