What is the likeliness of a reoccurrence of vasa previa or velamentous insertion in a subsequent pregnancy?
This is unknown. No one has data on recurrence risk for vasa previa; nevertheless it is extremely low….You cannot reduce your risk of a recurrence. Don’t worry, the risk is low. See a perinatologist to do a thorough sonogram. There are several other complications of pregnancy that can be dangerous. The risks of any of these are much higher than the risk of recurrent vasa previa. See a good OB/GYN and one that you trust and have good rapport with.
