Patient's question:
The placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus.What does it mean if the placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus? Can I have a natural birth?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus, which is the normal site of placental attachment and falls under normal pregnancy, making it possible to have a vaginal delivery. The normal placenta can be attached to the fundus, posterior wall, anterior wall, or posterior wall of the uterus. The ultrasound report states that the placenta is located on the anterior wall of the corpus uteri, which is normal. There is no need to worry, and it is recommended to undergo regular fetal examinations. If you have placenta previa, you will have to undergo a cesarean section because placenta previa can easily lead to severe bleeding, making a cesarean delivery safer.
