Printable checklist

After an accreta diagnosis: your first week.

You don't have to do these all today, or in order. Check off what you can. Whatever you manage is enough.

I let myself breathe. Fear is a normal response to a serious diagnosis.
I asked whether I'm being cared for at — or referred to — a center experienced with accreta.
I started a running list of questions for my care team.
I identified a support person to come to appointments and take notes.
I wrote down my team's specific warning signs and the number to call.
I saved key phone numbers somewhere easy to find.
I chose one person I can be completely honest with.
I picked one grounding practice to use before appointments.
I gave myself permission: I don't have to figure it all out today.

This checklist is general support, not medical advice. Always follow your own care team's guidance first. In a medical emergency, call 911.
