Usually the placenta positions itself at either the top or side of the uterus. But itâs always possible that the placenta will attach to the front of the stomach, a position known as an anterior placenta. If the placenta attaches to the back of the uterus, near your spine, this is known as a posterior placenta. Typically, your doctor will check the position of your placenta during your mid-pregnancy ultrasound, which should take place between 18 and 21 weeks of pregnancy.
