This ‘Uncommon’ But Deadly Pregnancy Condition Is On The Rise

January 23, 2020 By Elizabeth

“According to ACOG, studies from the 1970s and 1980s put the rates of placenta accreta at about 1 in several thousand births. A 2016 study suggests the current rate may be closer to about 1 in 270 — an increase ACOG said is likely due to a change in risk factors, specifically, in C-section deliveries. Although most women who deliver via C-section will never have placenta accreta, it is one of the strongest risk factors for the condition — and C-section rates have increased in the U.S. now accounting for more than 30% of all births. Other risk factors include higher maternal age, having had a prior pregnancy and variations in placental positioning during pregnancy.”
