Is it easy for pregnant women with anterior uterus to give birth naturally?

Whether a natural birth is possible with an anterior uterus actually depends on the position of the placenta. Generally, if the placenta is previa, the mother may not be able to give birth naturally and should choose a cesarean section. If the position of the placenta is normal and other conditions permit, a natural birth can be possible.

The impact of an anterior uterus on normal delivery depends on the specific circumstances. Whether to choose natural birth or caesarean section depends on the placenta. If the placenta is previa, a caesarean section is required and natural birth cannot be performed. But if the placenta is in the front, then there is no impact. When doing B-ultrasound, it is necessary to clarify whether the placenta is anterior or posterior and the position of the placenta. Therefore, women must do prenatal check-ups. Experts point out that there are three main types of anterior uterus:

1. Marginal placenta: The placenta will be attached to the lower part of the uterus, and the lower edge has reached the edge of the internal opening of the cervix, which is also called low-lying placenta previa.

2. Complete placenta previa: The placenta completely covers the internal opening of the cervix, also known as central placenta previa.

3. Partial placenta previa: Part of the placenta covers the internal opening of the cervix.

4. An anterior uterus refers to a woman's cervix that points downward and then to the posterior fornix of the vagina. It is located relatively low in the female body, so after sexual intercourse, semen will easily concentrate there, and the cervix will easily be soaked in semen, which will be very conducive to the meeting of sperm and egg. Therefore, it can be seen that an anterior uterus has a higher chance of conception.

5. Retroverted uterus means that the longitudinal axis of the female uterus remains unchanged, and the entire uterus tilts backwards. This will cause the female's cervix to appear upturned, preventing the cervix from being immersed in semen, which will directly affect the female's conception. Retroverted uterus is relatively common in clinical practice. There are both congenital and acquired reasons for retroverted uterus. However, most women with retroverted uterus can become pregnant successfully through fertility guidance. Only a few patients with more serious conditions require surgical treatment for retroverted uterus.
