do anterior placentas=posterior babies?

[Janie]

Jols, I had an anterior placenta, and DS was firmly posterior for some weeks before the birth, and didn't turn when being born. But he was pretty badly malpositioned, with his head wedged in my pelvic cavity, .

I'm no expert, but I seem to recall 'reading' that you have a slighty increased chance of having a posterior bub if you have an anterior placenta. But I wouldn't worry about it! And hang out on Spinning Babies if you're concerned down the track!

DD had an anterior placenta and she was anterior, DS had a prosterior placenta and he was prosterior.

Claire had an anterior placenta and she wasnt posterior at any of my antenatal checks nor my labour. I was told though that postereir babies do have anterior placenta more often than they have posterior placenta.

I had an anterior placenta and DS was not posterior.

yep had anterior and bub was posterior for most of labour, she turned though.

It's thought that some babies prefer to face their placenta, hence why you have anterior placentas' and posterior babies. I have only ever had posterior placentas and I had two posterior babies, two anterior ones.
