What is the location of the placenta on the posterior wall of the uterine fundus?

The placenta is located on the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus. For women, the placenta must be in a reasonable position during pregnancy to ensure the safety of mother and child. However, some experts believe that sometimes the position of the child will be in different positions as the placenta continues to rotate. This is also a normal phenomenon. Therefore, when this happens, you should consult a doctor to understand the details. In order for you to understand more, let's take a look at the following introduction.

The secrets of the placenta are all here!

Placenta location anterior placenta

In a normal pregnancy, the placenta is attached to the anterior, posterior, or lateral wall of the uterus. If the placenta is partially or completely attached to the lower part of the uterus or covers the internal cervix, it is called placenta previa. Therefore, the anterior placenta is the normal position for the placenta to attach to the uterus. Pregnant mothers with anterior placenta do not need to worry.

Posterior wall of placenta

The female uterine cavity is divided into the anterior wall, posterior wall, fundus, and lower segment. Posterior placenta means that the placenta is attached to the back wall of the uterus. It is farther away from the lower end of the uterus. The placenta is located on the posterior wall of the uterus, which is the normal attachment position of the placenta, so pregnant mothers do not need to worry. Whether the placenta is located on the front or back wall of the uterus, it will not affect the baby as long as it is not placenta previa or low-lying placenta.

Placenta previa

The normal attachment site of the placenta is on the posterior, anterior or lateral wall of the uterine body. If the placenta is attached to the lower part of the uterus or covers the internal os of the cervix and is lower than the presenting part of the fetus, it is called placenta previa. Placenta previa is one of the main causes of bleeding in late pregnancy and a serious complication during pregnancy. It is more common in multiparous women, especially multiparous women.

Clinically, placenta previa is divided into three types:

1. Complete placenta previa or central placenta previa, the internal cervical os is completely covered by placental tissue.

2. Partial placenta previa, the internal os of the cervix is ​​partially covered by placental tissue.

3. Marginal placenta previa: the edge of the placenta is attached to the lower segment of the uterus and does not extend beyond the internal cervical os.

Low-lying placenta

A low-lying placenta is a type of placenta previa, which can be divided into three types: complete placenta previa, partial placenta previa and low-lying placenta. Complete placenta previa means that the placenta tissue completely covers the internal cervical opening; partial placenta previa means that only part of the placenta tissue covers the cervical opening. In comparison, low-lying placenta is a relatively mild type among the three types of placenta previa, but pregnant mothers should not take it lightly.

The above content specifically introduces the location of the placenta on the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus. If you are pregnant now and such a situation occurs, you can understand the above content, consult a doctor after understanding it, and carry out effective treatment according to the doctor's advice, so that you can be healthy and your baby will be healthier.
