Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Having palcenta previa in the first pregnancy increase risk to have the same in the other pregnancy.
There are some reasons that increase chances ,such as :
Scars in the lining of the uterus, such as from previous surgery
A large placenta, such as with a multiple pregnancy
Being 35 or older during pregnancy
Having had babies
Smoke
Use cocaine
You can do nothing to stop development of placenta previa ,only do not smoke and follow advice of your doctor .
All the best
