The placenta develops in the uterus after the zygote has implanted in the Uterine wall. This wall develops into the placenta during pregnancy. If implantation does not occur the wall will be sloughed off in the next menstrual cycle
The allantois membrane and the chorion form the placenta in mammals. The chorion is the outermost fetal membrane that encases the embryo and later fuses with the maternal tissue to form the placenta.

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.
You can absolutely eat your placenta. Even better, you can sometimes find people who will dehydrate and encapsulate your placenta so you can take it in pill form. It is a wonderful way to return nutrients to your body and stabilize post partum hormones. Just tell the nurses beforehand that you want your placenta saved!!
As in most mammals, the fetal pig will form within the placenta in the uterus of the mother.
