Anterior Placenta: What It Means for My Pregnancy Journey

An anterior placenta attaches to the front of the uterus, close to the belly. I’m learning what this placement can mean for pregnancy and delivery.

When I hear that I have an anterior placenta, I understand that my placenta is attached to the front of my uterus, closer to my belly.

This placement can be a normal part of pregnancy, but it may affect how I experience certain moments along the way. Learning what an anterior placenta means helps me feel more informed about my pregnancy and what it could mean as I move toward delivery.
