What is the difference between the anterior and posterior walls of the placenta during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is very important for women, and regular maintenance is very important for pregnant women. So what is the reason for finding the anterior wall of the placenta and the posterior wall of the placenta during B-ultrasound examination? What is the difference between the two?

The importance of the embryo is obvious. With the protection of the embryo, the fetus can better absorb nutrients and grow better in the womb. The embryo is generally divided into the front wall, the back wall, the upper end and the lower end. It is normal for the embryo to adhere to the front wall and the back wall, and pregnant friends do not need to worry. If we must talk about the difference between the anterior and posterior walls of the placenta, the most critical difference is that the location of the embryo implantation is different at the beginning. The embryo implants in the anterior wall of the placenta in front, while the embryo implants in the posterior wall of the placenta in front.

The anterior placenta and the posterior placenta are both common conditions, but if the embryo adheres to the vicinity of the cervix, this is placenta previa, which will affect the delivery of pregnant women and easily cause internal and external bleeding in premature babies. As for the anterior or posterior wall of the placenta, this is normal adhesion and expectant mothers do not need to worry. Generally, the anterior wall of the placenta and the posterior wall of the placenta only indicate that the fetus is located in different positions. The anterior wall of the placenta refers to the upper part of the uterus facing the lower part of the pregnant woman's belly, while the posterior wall of the placenta refers to the upper part of the uterus facing the back.

In comparison, the belly shape of the anterior wall of the placenta will be more obvious and easier to show. The expectant mother will not be too tired during pregnancy, and the most common feeling is that her abdomen is falling forward. As for the posterior wall of the placenta, it means that the baby is located at the back, so the belly is not as visible as the anterior wall of the placenta, but the expectant mother will often feel severe back pain.

It can be said with certainty that the anterior and posterior walls of the placenta are normal and will have no effect on the fetus or delivery. Expectant mothers do not need to worry. The key is to maintain a happy mood and have a comfortable delivery.
