Hi,

The placenta is attached to the front wall of the uterus called as the anterior placenta or the back wall of the uterus called the posterior placenta. So a posterior placenta is no cause of worry and you can definitely go ahead with normal vaginal delivery with a posterior placenta. Moreover, the posterior placenta is considered to be the best for the baby as it allows the baby to grow and descend to the right position and align in the birth canal for a vaginal birth.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
