Placenta percreta should have been detected during prenatal care, through ultrasonography, and it's a real shame that kind of visit isn't offered freely.
It's also pretty bad that they didn't consider any obstetric causes in their differential.
Thankfully, everything is OK now and that makes me happy.

The D&C (unknowingly) perforated her uterus and the intestine was drawn/sucked inward, plugging the hole. It was only after 6 months into second pregnancy that any symptoms where noticed.
