I was told that most likely the placenta had attached itself to the scar tissue of my previous c-section. However, they still wouldn't do an ultrasound or any kind of exam to confirm the placenta previa. I was just told to take it easy. I have been bleeding on and off for two weeks with horrible cramping.
Some say it is dangerous and can actually cause severe cramping. But in my experience, stripping the membranes of the cervix to bring on labor contractions actually works! I have had this done for 3 of my pregnancies and I went into labor almost immediately. Of course, it does not always work this way for everyone.
