Anterior placentas are extremely common and generally do not cause complications. The exception is if you have had a
prior c/section.
Then, in some cases, the anterior placenta can attach itself to the old
scar in the uterine muscle, a situation called placenta accreta (or
percreta or increta, depending if the placenta goes deeper into the
muscle, or even through the entire uterus, respectively). This can
cause hemorrhage with delivery, necessitating blood transfusion or even
hysterectomy. Fortunately, if you have never had a c/section, this is
quite rare.this site can also be
