What Are The Chances Of Placenta Previa Again During Future Pregnancy?

I have had 4 pregnancies. 2 losses and 2 births. With the 2 births I had placenta previa that resolved itself the first time and complete previa with bleeding problems and a 36.4 week old my second time. If I were to get pregnant again, what are my chances of having a previa again?

hi since you are going to have a 5 th pregnancy and that too you have had previous history of placenta prévia and I assume you must have had a c section these are all factors which increase the risk many fold of having placenta prévia in the subsequent pregnancy.but all cases of placenta prévia so not have complications and do not bleed. all the best take care.
