Now am pregnant again with posterioly placed placenta in the upper segment.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
- low lying placenta is not related to sex of baby.
- Yes low lying placenta can prove to be harmful to baby as well as mothers health- when it causes bleeding.
- This time you have a posterior placental placement in upper segment of uterus. So don't worry. your pregnancy is normal.
Thanks.
