Since the introduction of the fertilized egg into the uterine tissue, the chorion begins to develop, which is the basis for the future placenta. In order to determine its location, ultrasound is performed, on which the pregnant woman often hears that the chorion is located along the front wall, although it does not understand what it is and what it means. Let's consider this phenomenon in detail, and tell you about how the placenta is attached to the wall of the uterus in this way in the course of pregnancy.
How is it usually attached to the wall of the uterus of the placenta?
The chorion can be located along the anterior, posterior wall, in the region of the uterine fundus or in the region of the throat. At the same time, the fears of doctors are only the last option.
The thing is that a low-lying child's place interferes with the normal course of the process of delivery. It is this complication of pregnancy that can cause spontaneous abortion and cause an emergency operative labor.
The location of the chorion along the front wall of the uterus is not a violation. In fact, there is no particular difference in the course of childbirth and the process of pregnancy, the placenta is attached to the anterior or posterior wall of the uterus. The most important parameter is the so-called height of fixing the placenta from entering the uterine zoe. Normally this parameter should be not less than 6-7 cm.
What determines the location of the chorion?
The fact that the chorion is located more often on the posterior or anterior wall of the uterus is due primarily to the fact that these areas of the uterine cavity are rarely involved in inflammatory and infectious processes. So, for example, in those areas where the wall is damaged by the existing myoma or cyst, the attachment of the chorion can not simply happen.
Among the disadvantages of attaching the placenta to the anterior wall, perhaps, is only the fact that there are some difficulties in listening to the fetal heartbeats through the anterior abdominal wall of a pregnant woman using a midwife stethoscope.
