PP again?

Question

If you had placenta previa in a previous pregnancy does that mean you are likely to have it again? I had it my first pregnancy around 18 weeks and was told not to have sex. This is my second pregnancy but I haven’t had an ultrasound yet because of my insurance. Won’t have one until 20 weeks. I’m currently 16 weeks.

Answer

I have it too and I've read online that it can increase your chances, but doesn't mean for sure you will. I think that may be due to if it creates new scar tissue down low, as the placenta could adhere to the scar tissue again. But that's only a guess. So if it resolves itself and doesn't cause damage I would think no harm done and would only be by chance if the placenta attached low for no reason again, but if it caused damage it could increase the chances. I'm no expert but I'm trying to understand it myself!

Answer

no. it's just luck of the draw where the placenta implants
