Hi Rachael,

I had an anterior placenta with my last pg. This never caused me any problems however I did find that I didn't feel as much movement from bubs as early or as hard as I did with my previous pg's.

As for labour there were no issues with it either. I was never told there was any problems of being on all fours. Actually I did that quite alot in my labour. I did worry that if a c section was needed what the risk might be of the Dr's cutting straight through the uterine wall and into the placenta though. They (Dr's) assured me thet "they do it all the time" so they knew what they were doing. Yeah like they've never cut a baby before either.

I had my baby at home and as I said there was never any question of the safety of ithe placentas positioning. Unless it is covering your cervix then you don't really have anything to worry about. BTW they would have told you that in your scan if it were.

HTH


Take care
Trish
