The baby is connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord. The placenta can be situated anywhere on the surface of the uterus. The front wall is called anterior.

The placenta is the organ which transfers oxygen and nutrients from the mother’s blood into the baby’s blood. It is connected to the mother’s uterus over a wide surface area. The baby is connected to the placenta via the umbilical cord.

The placenta can be situated anywhere on the surface of the uterus. The front wall is called anterior. The back wall is called posterior. The side walls are called left lateral or right lateral. The top wall is called fundal.

What matters most is how low the lower edge of the placenta extends because if it is too low in the uterus it can prevent the descent of the fetal head during labour. Low-lying placentas can also lead to unusual bleeding during the pregnancy or birth.
