My placenta is attached in the front of my uterus is this normal and are there any risks to this ?

Question

When i got my last ultra sound the tech told me my uterus was in the front . I am wondering where it is in the front close to the baby is there any risks or complications to this . Especially when the baby starts to move alot and get bigger ?

Answer 1

It's fine. Placental attachment only matters if it's low or on top of the cervix (placenta previa).

Having an anterior (front side) placenta is not risky. The only thing you might notice is that the baby's movements might feel more dull on the front side.

Answer 2

Contact your dr if things get worse, like we discussed. I will say a prayer for you! dear. Now go lay down and make hubby do everything else...lol

Answer 3

My placenta is also attached in the front, its called an anterior placenta. There are no real risks in having this, just it's harder to feel your baby move because the placenta acts as a cushion. Also sometimes it takes longer for the doctor to hear the babies heartbeat because the placenta is in the front of the baby.  

Answer 4

This is something you'd have been better off asking while you were at the doctors office.....

Answer 5

My placenta is also in the front! This causes no harm to your baby.. However, the only down side to having your placenta attached to the front of your uterus is that when it comes time for the baby to be born you will have to have a c-section..IF THE PLACENTA HAS NOT MOVED. Usually, the placenta moves upward/ away from the cervix. When it does not and a c-section is required it is called placenta previa. Good luck and no need to worry!!

Answer 6

no risks involved that I know of, I had the same thing.  The only issue is that it might take you a while longer to feel movement from the outside of your belly because there is an extra barrier.  Good luck!

Answer 7

Mine is also in the front and they let me know right away there are no risk, everything is fine and normal the only thing we've discovered with it is it tends to block the doctor from being able to find a heartbeat, i've had to be rushed in for an emergency ultrasound, other than that it has no effects what so ever!  

Answer 8

if its covering your cervix, you cant deliver naturally, you have to go through a c section.  

Answer 9

I had twins and one of them was attached in the front and the other was attached in the back.

They both developed normally and healthy.

As long as there isn't any of the placenta covering your cervix then you're fine.  :)
