Placenta
accreta is a particularly nasty condition in which the placenta gets too
attached to the uterus, and can even go through the uterine wall and get
involved in other tissues.
This can
cause massive blood loss at birth, and may well result in hysterectomy.
Amazingly
I’d not heard of this condition before today when I found out about it the hard
way…
