The placenta is located in the posterior wall of the uterus.

The placenta is located on the posterior wall of the uterus, which means that the placenta grows on the posterior wall of the uterus. It is a normal fetal position. The uterus is divided into the anterior wall of the uterus, the posterior wall of the uterus, the lateral wall of the uterus and the fundus of the uterus. No matter where the placenta grows, it belongs to the normal fetal position. However, if the placenta is located close to the cervical orifice, it is more dangerous. A pregnancy exam may be performed in the second and third trimester to determine if the baby is positioned for normal delivery. If the baby is head up, correct positioning is required according to doctor's instructions.
