Low lying placenta and c section?

Question

I had a sonogram today, I’m 25 weeks and they told me I have a low lying anterior placenta (not covering my cervix at all). My placenta is right along my previous c section incision. This pregnancy is a scheduled c section, so I’m curious as to if this will cause any complications during my c section?

Answer

I am not 100% certain, but I don’t think it will. I once asked if my doctor would do anything different with an anterior placenta at the C-section site and she said they would basically just cut right through it, haha. I think the only time you would have a problem is if it has attached itself into the muscle of your uterus.
