In this episode, we chat with return guest Dr. Cyndie Chow about her complicated pregnancy and birth experience. Dr. Chow is a 36-year-old mom of two beautiful and healthy children. She experienced complications with her second pregnancy due to placenta previa and placenta percreta. Placenta percreta is a severe form of placenta accreta, a condition in which the placenta grows through the uterus and has the potential to invade surrounding organs. This condition has been steadily on the rise and here she describes her first-hand experience dealing with an unexpected complicated pregnancy, which thankfully had a happy ending for both her and her son.
