What does it mean if the placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus and belongs to the normal attachment sites of the placenta. The normal placenta attaches to the bottom of the uterine body, the posterior wall, the anterior wall, or the posterior wall. If the placenta attaches to the lower segment of the uterus, or even if the edge of the placenta reaches or covers the internal cervical os, and its position is lower than the presenting part, it is called a previa.
