Placenta accreta

Risk factors

The condition affects around 10% of cases of placenta praevia, and is increased in incidence by the presence of scar tissue from a past caesarean section[3].

Placenta Praevia

Risk factors

The following have been identified as risk factors for placenta praevia:

• Previous placenta praevia, caesarean delivery,[1] or abortion.
• Women who have had previous pregnancies, especially a large number of closely spaced pregnancies, are at higher risk.
• Women who are younger than 20 are at higher risk and women older than 30 are at increasing risk as they get older.
• Women with a large placentae from twins or erythroblastosis are at higher risk.
• Women who smoke or use cocaine may be at higher risk.
• Race is a controversial risk factor, with some studies finding minorities at higher risk and others finding no difference.

From the question, having a c-section predisposes you to having placenta previa and accreta but it is not a specific complication of having a c-section itself.
