Did you experience a low-lying placenta, placenta praevia or placenta accreta during pregnancy?

You may be eligible if you:
💜 Are aged 18 or over and live in Australia
💜 Experienced a low-lying placenta, placenta praevia or placenta accreta within the past five years

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and your experience could help improve care and support for other women.
