It is called an anterior placenta which means the placenta is attached to the front wall of your uterus (rather than the back wall which is more common). It doesn't mean anything other than there is a little extra cushioning between the wall of your uterus and your baby so you probably won't feel baby's first movements until a little later into your pregnancy (probably around 20 weeks or more if you are also overweight).
What is it called when the placenta is birthed before the fetus?
This condition is called Placenta Previa. With placenta previa, the placenta grows on the lower part of the uterus partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. The placenta should form at the top of the uterus, above the baby. With a normal pregnancy, the baby would be born first, then the placenta. With placenta previa, the placenta would be delivered first. Women with placenta previa require a c-section because as soon as the umbilical cord comes into contact with oxygen, the baby will automatically breathe with his lungs. Delivering the placenta first puts the baby at risk of suffocation in the womb.
