Brief Answer:
Bleeding and fail of uterus to contract may be two risks of d&e procedure

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may need to wait some weeks before the procedure. Placenta still can change place in 20 weeks going towards the upper part of uterus and I think yours can change place and not be attached to fibroid anymore.
You can discuss it again with your doctor.
The d&e procedure is done by stimulating birth by medical team.
You are having fibrinoids so increased bleeding and lack of uterine contractions in order to stop bleeding may be a risk. You are under medical supervision so there is nothing to worry about.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
You have chances to have a pregnancy in future but can't be said exactly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
You can do an abortion in this age of pregnancy only for medical reasons.
If possible keep the pregnancy and think again about abortion.
It cant be said for sure that you will have another baby in future but you have chances to have it.
Please think again the reasons to keep it.
