MGK

Thank you for your book (all of them really)! I’m pregnant with my second after an emergency c-section with my first. I appreciate how the book lays out the different risks between repeat c-section and TOLAC (including those associated with a second emergency c-section). Trying for a VBAC is my preference (partly because I’d like to have another child and my mom had a very scary case of placenta accretia so increased risk there scares me). However, my doctors tell me that a repeat c-section is strongly recommended since it was less than 18 months from birth to conception. Two questions: Is there data to support the 18-month cut off? Are placenta complications (accretia or previa) hereditary? Thank you!
