What Are The Risks Of Having Posterior Placenta During Pregnancy?
Good morning, I m on my 26th week of pregnancy now, I had my 2D ultrasound last week, it says Placenta is posterior with HETEROGENEOUS PATTERN. I search the net and it said it is strongly associated with an adverse pregnancy outcome and often with perinatal death. What will I do?

dear
posterior placenta itself is not the cause of worry,
is it having large no of calcification ??
what about the baby's growth?
what is the blood flow in uterine artery?
amount of amniotic fluid ? is this your first pregnancy?
be in contact with your Gynec & follow their advice.
