Effects of abdominal scarring/adhesions on pregnancy.

Hi, I don't know if anybody can help me. I had abdominal surgery 2 years ago, following the discovery that my baby (at 27 weeks gestation) was not in my uterus, but in my abdominal cavity. The placenta was attached to my stomach, bowels etc... and was left there to be reabsorbed by my body which should take around 5 years or so we THINK! I am now 18 weeks pregnant and have heard from someone that after extensive abdominal surgery, (did not have uterine surgery) that the scar tissue and adhesions can cause early labour in following pregnancies.

I haven't discussed it with my consultant yet as I am not seeing him until the end of this month.

Does anyone have any idea or information about this? Very grateful for any info.

Thank you Regards Kat
