Marilyn wrote "We had a mum in for an elective repeat caesar the other week who had a known placenta percreta (had been checked by u/s as having not grown through to the bladder). " Is it possible to check whether the placenta has implanted over the scar? Does scar tissue show up well on U/S? Is the U/S able to truly show a placenta accreta or percreta? It sounds like it can, from what you say Marilyn. At what gestation would this be done? Is it routine screening before either VBAC or C/S? So many unsubstantiated claims surround U/S. I am asking for information, not criticising. MM
