To saurabh - placenta posterior is when the placenta is on the back of the uterus and anterior is on the front.
it is possible for the placenta to move in the late stages of pregnancy
if a normal delivery cannot be carried out then a c setion will be neccessary
i am pregnant with my second child and have just got back from my scan where they informed me i had a low lying placenta but am not going to worry too much until i speak to my midwife at my appointment toomorrow
if anyone has any worries do not think twice about ringing your midwife but possibly expect a little extra ante natal care
a scan tomorrow will tell more but if anyone has any ideas please share them
