Скачать или смотреть Jenny's Story: Placenta Accreta Video - Brigham and Women's Hospital

Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta—the organ that provides nutrients and other support to a developing fetus—attaches too deeply to the uterine wall, leading to complications during child birth. High-risk pregnancy or maternal-fetal medicine specialists in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) provide specialized care for mothers with placenta accreta.

Jenny, a patient of Daniela A. Carusi, MD, MSc, Director of Surgical Obstetrics, recounts her high risk pregnancy care for placenta accreta at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Every family looks forward to a healthy pregnancy, and for the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a fairly routine course. For some women, however, a high-risk pregnancy may present unexpected difficulties and challenges along the way. Having a high-risk pregnancy means that a woman has a greater chance of complications because of conditions that arise in her pregnancy, her preexisting medical status or external factors.

Maternal-fetal medicine or high-risk obstetricians at BWH specialize in high-risk pregnancy to help you achieve the most healthy pregnancy and delivery possible. Brigham and Women's Hospital has been a world leader in helping women live longer, healthier lives. We have been consistently ranked as one of America's best hospitals on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll and as one of the top women's health providers in the country.
