I'm not sure. How many weeks were you and did they say the placenta was over your scar? I can't see it making a big difference because c-sec scars are usually pretty small. Did you have any complications with healing?
No i didn't have any complications with healing. I was 34 weeks and 5 days when abruption happened. Abruption caused contractions and baby had to be delivered. I am so upset that i had a premie.
I had a placenta Abrution at 29 weeks due to preeclampsia and my baby passed away so I'm sure you would rather have had your premier than your baby pass away.

An abruption can happen for many reasons. I have had to partial abruptions and the cause is unknown. Mine did not result in immediate delivery either time, but the last hemorrhage that I had was at 33 weeks. I had to be in the hospital for 3 days for them to stop the bleeding and the contractions that were due to the bleeding.
Its usually a random occurance, but it can be due to the shape of the uterus. If youve had one abruption it does put you at a higher risk for another.
Its nothing that you did, mothers smoke all the time and dont have abruptions, and although technically a scar in the uterus from a prior c section could cause placement issues with the placenta, it is unlikely.
Sorry you had a traumatic birth, hope that you and your baby are doing well.
Also, I am very sorry to the previous poster who lost a 29 weeker due to an abruption, my heart hurts for you, that is my nightmare.
Thank you dnp47, I'm currently 38 weeks with a babyboy & just waiting for my induction on Tuesday. It honestly just really hurt my feelings for the post to say she's upset about having a premie, like really at least u still had your baby. But that's just me being honest, not causing an argument at all.
I'm sorry sweetie. I wish I had an answer.
During my second pregnanacy, I had chronic placental abruption that started at 27 weeks. I had a blood clot above my cervix from the abruption. I was spotting from the clot until I had the next abruption at 33 weeks. This one was bigger which landed me in the hospital until the baby was born. I had a planned c section at 37 weeks, baby was great and now he's a year old. My first son was born via c section at 39 weeks and I had no complications or problems.
I did some internet study searching and found a few studies that indicate that the risk for abruption with a second pregnancy is increased after a c section. Also risks for previa are increased as well. I was also diagnosed with "low lying placenta" at 24 weeks. Not sure if we are going to try for a third given everything that happened with my second.
