I'm sorry, but Vasa Praevia is NOT a membrane. It is a vein in the placenta which sometimes crosses the membranes (amniotic sac) in front of the baby's head. It is a rare and dangerous condition which can ONLY be diagnosed on Vaginal examination or late scan. It is unlikely to happen again in this pregnancy as your placenta will more than likely be in a different place. Placentae attach to the uterus in a different place in each pregnancy due to the scar tissue left by your last placenta on your uterus (yes, placentae leave scars).....
If you have a Vasa Praevia and your forewaters break, you will more than likely bleed to death, hence, the emergency C Section (which obviously saved your life the last time).
As I said, it is highly unlikely to happen again, good luck...
