Yes - this was the case at the hospital I am doing 
placement at. The woman's placenta was removed as much as possible but a small 
bit was left behind (obviously). Around 3 months later the remaining bit came 
away on it's own - it had calcified and was like a small rock. I don't know if 
she had any breastfeeding issues - will ask when I go back. The body is just so 
much cleverer than we are!

  Jan,True accreta that is adhered to the uterine wall cannot 
  be removed and the only choice is to remove the placenta and uterus or leave 
  the placenta in situ. It will shrivel and be reabsorbed by the body or calcify 
  and stay there without a problem. The problem is when it is only partly 
  accreted and there is bleeding behind the seperated part. I have never heard 
  of it copming away three months later but I guess part of it

[Jennifairy]

what are the implications re bleeding? Jan, are you talking about the 
whole placenta being left in, or just a part of it?
