Is there any connection to gender and location of placenta at around 12 weeks? I logged into my patient portal and saw that my 11w6d ultrasound stated that placenta was "Right Lateral and Grade I". I swear at my 7 week appointment they said that it was on the left (baby and yolk sac). Can it move? I know that Ramzi between 6-8 weeks is debunked, but curious if placental location at 12 weeks has any connection to gender?

No connection to gender and yes, it can move. The placenta can often start more on the side and then move it's way up as the uterus expands. It's why some women with placenta previa are able to have vaginal births when originally they could not because it covered part of the cervix.

Thanks! I was wondering how one would see it as left and the other right....makes sense!

Yep, no correlation in my experience.
