“No, I’m not putting up with it”, is a perfectly valid response to being told that your birth choices are “banned”.

If the risk of future placentation issues are not included in the informed choice discussion for cesarean (even medically necessary cesareans), then the informed consent process has not been adequately fulfilled.

Where is the informed consent?

I heard a medical provider dismiss accreta as a “theoretical risk.”

Aren’t all risks theoretical until it happens to you or your patient?

But their thinking reveals a lot about what they consider a “real risk” and why they almost always remain silent on the risks of accreta.

It’s also possible that they genuinely don’t know.

This is why we have courses for parents and continuing education for professionals.

The first time a mother hears the word “accreta,” should not be at her own diagnosis.

Yet that is the case for the majority of accreta parents.

They were just never informed on the risks of repeat cesarean, including accreta, “listened to their OB,” and “consented” to one or more repeat cesareans.
