Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
A posterior placenta is nothing to worry about,as long as it is not in the lower segment of the uterus. In such a case a normal delivery may not be possible.
Placenta maybe anterior/posterior/top of uterus, and there is nothing you can do or need to do to change it.
The baby's position (among other details are) more important to decide whether you will deliver normally or surgically.
Hope I have helped you with your query.
All the best.
