Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Anterior or posterior placenta means that the placenta is implanted on the anterior or posterior wall of the uterus.
These terms are only for the information about the location of the placenta in the uterus.
It has no relation to the sex of the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
