Placenta previa and anterior placenta?

Question

I am wondering if an anterior placenta turns into a placenta previa? Has anyone ever heard of that or has experience with it.
I know I have an anterior placenta but have never been told by a doctor about a placenta previa diagnosis...
Please share your experience!

Answer

Why are you concerned if your doctor hasn’t said anything? The placenta “moves up” as your uterus gets larger. I have an anterior placenta.

Answer

I seriously doubt it. It's more common to start out with a placenta previa then have the placenta move off of your cervix as your uterus grows.

Answer

I started with anterior placenta and it now is placenta previa I am now 20 weeks. I go in again every month so I am hoping it has shifted it seems most ladies have it resolved by 28 weeks so fingered crossed.

Answer

As far as I’m aware they are not related. I have an anterior placenta and have not had any issues with previa. My best friend had an anterior and happened to have placenta previa as well. However, as she went later into her pregnancy it moved and she’s fine now
