I was diagnosed with placenta previa early in my pregnancy. The placenta is

attached to the uterus too low. Sometimes covering the cervix. Luckily mine

was not touching the cervix and as my uterus grew, the placenta moved on up.

But I do not know what placenta acreta is? That I would like to know myself.
