Question 1

i came home from my 20 week rob anatomy ultrasound today, i brought home a cd with all of my pictures on it and stumbled across the preliminary report. it says i have anterior low lying placenta, what is this and should i schedule to see my doctor sooner

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: You'll probably get another ultrasound just to make sure your placental has stretched well away from the cervix. Low-lying anterior placenta is just where your placenta happens to be at 20 weeks. I don't worry about this unless you had a prior c-sec, then i check to make sure there's no accreta (placenta growing into the old scar). In summary, it's normal & not a problem. Enjoy your pictures.

Question 2

i was diagnosed with subchorionic hemorrhage at 9w. from the u/s picture in my file, can you determine where the placenta is, and if the bleed is big?

Accepted Answer

Subchorionic bleed: A high resolutiona U/S should be able to localized the hemorrhage, and determine the extent of damage.  You clearly are have a high risk pregnancy and should be seeing maternal fetal medicine obstetrician.

Question 3

i had a vaginal ultrasound today. in the ultrasound one picture shows a good size lump beside the baby aginsted the wall of the placenta. in all the other pictures there is a small circle beside child?

Accepted Answer

Without the image. .: It's hard to know what you are describing without the image, but it sounds like a placental chorioangioma, which is usually a benign finding. Google that, and look at "images" to see how it compares to what you've got.  By the way, the small circle is the yolk sac.

Question 4

meaning of anterior (fundal body) placenta?

Accepted Answer

Front of uterus: It means that the placenta is attached to the front wall of the uterus - this is good.

Question 5

grade 2 anterior placenta at 26 weeks what's the meaning?

Accepted Answer

US Naming System ...: Study: http://www.Learningradiology.Com/notes/gunotes/placentapage.Htm, anterior means towards front, closer to the abdomen than back. The grades are simply appearance characteristics on ultrasound which may correlate with relative health of placental development, blood supply to fetus and potential fetal health/outcomes. A good OB physician should be able to help you with specifics for individual.

Question 6

i was about 12 weeks when is said that i have an anterior placenta ..is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Your OB doc: Should have told u taha is normal as long as it is not called a low lying placenta which i assume it is not.

Question 7

can going on a very bumpy road cause a placenta tear if you have anterior placenta?

Accepted Answer

Anterior placenta: The pregnancy is well protected in general, and a "bumpy road" will not affect it even with an "anterior placenta".  However, if you have vaginal bleeding, see your OB provider immediately, as sometimes a "placenta previa" may be the origin of the bleeding.  The stage/date of your pregnancy would be useful information.

Question 8

what is predominant portion of the placenta is anterior fundal with a left lateral wrap posteriorly?

Accepted Answer

See below: This means the placenta is in a good position and not covering the os.

Question 9

what is  anterior low lying placenta means in usg scan?4th running for me.is it any problem my baby growth.please suggest.

Accepted Answer

Low-lying placenta: A low-lying placenta is when the placenta has implanted near the cervix but not over it as in a placenta previa.  We treat the low-lying placenta with pelvic rest and decreased activities like no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.  They generally resolve on their own.  They have no effect on the growth of the baby.

Question 10

hi,14th week running for me.today i went to scan.they mentioned - anterior low lying placenta.is it problem to my unbron baby.please sugges?

Accepted Answer

Placental location: An anterior low lying placenta is a possible cause of bleeding if running at this stage of pregnancy. It is unlikely to cause a serious problem for your baby, however.  Usually the low lying placenta will be located higher up as the uterus grows, and will not be a problem for delivery.  Another sonogram in a month may show it to be in a more normal position.
