Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

An anterior placenta means that the placenta is positioned on the front wall of the uterus. This will not cause any problem for you or the baby.

It is fine to opt for a normal delivery.

It may be a problem if you have need to go for a cesarean section as you may have a higher risk of bleeding. But as you would be in an operating room for the cesarean section, any bleeding would be efficiently managed by the surgeons. There is no cause for worry.

Hi. Welcome to hcm
Placenta lying anterior wil not cause any problem to the baby or delivery unless complicated by unforeseen circumstances. Normal or caesarian is call taken by doctor individually. Normal is preferred.
All the best
