What does it mean when the placenta is located on the posterior wall of the uterus?

During pregnancy, you often need to go for regular prenatal check-ups to prevent any problems with the baby in your belly. For example, as the baby grows and develops, the embryo will move to a certain extent. If the movement is severe, it is more dangerous. So, what does the posterior wall of the uterine fundus mean? If you don't know this question, then read on!

What does the posterior wall of the embryonic uterine fundus mean?

When pregnant women do B-ultrasound during pregnancy, they must report the location of the embryo. In many cases, it will be reported as located on the anterior wall or on the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus. Many pregnant women do not know what it means for the embryo to be located on the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus. Here we first understand the shape of the uterus.

Under normal circumstances, the shape of the uterus is a pear, or approximately an inverted triangle. The top of this inverted triangle is generally called the fundus, and its front, back, left and right walls are generally called the anterior wall or the posterior wall of the uterine cavity. Therefore, the embryo is located on the posterior wall of the fundus, which means that the embryo is born in the fundus, that is, at the top of the inverted triangle, and is located on the posterior wall, which means that the embryo is located on the side and rear of the inverted triangle, which is close to the spine in terms of the body.

Therefore, the embryo is located on the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus, that is, the embryo is located at the bottom of the uterine cavity, close to the posterior side. This position of the embryo is a very normal position and does not mean that there are any abnormalities in the embryo.

In the later stages of pregnancy, the size of the fetus can be predicted based on the height of the uterine fundus. Therefore, every pregnancy check-up requires accurate measurement of the height-to-width ratio of the uterine fundus. If there is a significant abnormality in the height of the uterine fundus, further investigation of the cause is necessary to detect high-risk pregnancy as early as possible and provide timely intervention.

When abnormal uterine height is found, it is recommended that: 1. The specific number of days of pregnancy should be calculated based on the menstrual cycle, time of intercourse, and B-ultrasound in early pregnancy; 2. It is recommended to check B-ultrasound to understand the amniotic fluid flow and the total number and size of fetuses.
