After conception, the fertilized egg meanders to the end of your fallopian tube and enters your uterus, searching for the uterine wall. If it successfully implants itself there, the placenta will begin to form at that very spot about a week later. By the end of the first trimester, the placenta is fully grown and weighs about 1 1/4 pounds.
The placenta normally attaches to the uterine wall, however there is a condition that occurs where the placenta attaches itself too deeply into the wall of the uterus. This condition is known as placenta accreta, placenta increta, or placenta percreta depending on the severity and deepness of the placenta attachment. Approximately 1 in 2,500 pregnancies experience placenta accreta, increta or percreta.
