Placenta position question. FTM.

Scarlett • Hello there. My name is Scarlett. I'm 24 years old, married, and expecting my first in March.
Today, I had my anatomy scan. My daughter always sits low, tucked behind my pelvic bone, which makes it difficult to see her. I see everyone with great full-frontal pictures of their baby, yet mine was barely visible on the screen. My placenta took up the screen's view. He tried every method and angle to get her to move, but she wouldn't. Is the placenta taking up her space? I'm just confused. I've never seen an ultrasound like this. The specialist didn't seem to think anything of it when I asked( or maybe he's waiting for my doctor to report the results). I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to get any pictures except one, which is barely visibly. My placenta looks huge. Can anyone explain this to me, so I can have peace of mind before next week's follow-up appointment?
This was the best picture they could provide... It looks NOTHING like anyone else's scan!

My placenta is on top also, that's why I got send to a different hospital for better pictures! I also haven't been able to feel my little guy move around as much because of the placentas position! Drs say it's completely normal, and there's no perfect location for the placenta! Hope this makes you feel better (:

Thank-you! I appreciate your comment. I'm high-risk, so I'm seen every week. Up until 15 weeks, I got an ultrasound every week. It wasn't there. I'm almost 20 weeks and now there is a huge placenta in full view! I'm like 🤔
