This is my 3rd pregnancy. And I can tell you that like you, I carried both of my previous pregnancies alot higher. My doctor told me that part of the reason I am carrying low is because it is my 3rd pregnancy. We are having a boy, and right now his head is in my bladder. He does move his positions but seems to like this position the most.

I do not know if the Placenta Prevaria/Accreta has anything to do with it, since I haven't had that problem. With my first pregnancy I did have a tear in the placenta which caused some bleeding, but otherwise a very healthy pregnancy and delivered 19 days past my due date ( was due March 17th, delivered April 5th)
