Patient's question:
My wife is now five and a half months pregnant. In the past two days, when she went to the hospital for prenatal care, the test report showed that the placenta was posterior. Since my wife's belly is relatively large, her friend said it's a lower pregnancy. I'd like to ask if a posterior placenta is considered a lower pregnancy or an upper pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, the position of the placenta could be anterior, posterior, or fundal. These positions are all normal and there is no need to worry excessively. You can share the examination results for review to understand the development of the fetus and determine if it is normal. It is recommended to follow medical advice and undergo regular check-ups during pregnancy to monitor the development of the fetus and the health of the pregnant woman, ensuring everything is normal. In daily diet, it is important to have a varied intake, balancing meat and vegetables.
