The anterior placenta and placenta previa are two completely different concepts. Anterior placenta refers to the placenta attached to the anterior wall of the uterus, which is the normal location for placenta attachment. However, placenta previa refers to the position where the distance from the lower edge of the placenta to the cervix is less than seven centimeters, which is a relatively dangerous location. Can anterior placenta become placenta previa?
The placenta is located on the anterior wall of the uterus and will not develop into placenta previa afterwards, because the placenta usually grows upwards and not towards the cervix, so pregnant women do not need to worry too much. Placenta previa is one of the main causes of late pregnancy bleeding and a serious complication of pregnancy.
Pregnant women go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination. If the B-ultrasound shows anterior or posterior placenta, it indicates that the placenta is growing at the front or back of the uterus, which is normal. If it is an anterior placenta, the pregnancy usually appears earlier, but the fetal movement may be felt later. If it is a posterior placenta, the belly may not appear too large in late pregnancy.
If it is placenta previa, then it needs to be taken seriously. Placenta previa is a very dangerous condition and can easily cause heavy bleeding in late pregnancy, so it should be checked at any time. Pregnant women with placenta previa should avoid doing gravity exercises, not lifting heavy objects, and rest well to ensure the safety of the fetus.
