Re: Inverted Uterus

Last week I encountered the same problem including blood loss, only I
don't have the abdominal scar (they put uterus back in place vaginally).
I am wondering if anyone has responded to this question, since it isn't
posted. I too have all the same questions, and really need to know
since I cannot get one clear answer about future pregnancies and the
possibility of detecting placenta accreta/increta before it's too late.
Anyone who knows anything about this, please advise.
