Placenta position varies widely-the uterus is a large space when little embryo implants.As long as not over cervix(previa)-should be no problem.A very low-lying posterior placenta(Stallworthy)can in rare cases cause slo descent of head in labor.Few reports have stated placenta implants on the side you sleep-??
