A descriptive study aimed to determine and study of the placental location in normal Sudanese pregnant women in order to assess the common placental location related to the normal pregnancy. The data collected in Omdurman Maternity Hospital (Omdurman) from November 2015 to October 2016; one hundred pregnant women in first, second and third trimesters were scanned by ultrasound machine Toshiba-power vision-6000. Placental location was identified in a longitudinal section at the point of insertion of the umbilical cord. The variables used to establish this study was mother age, BPD, fetalAge, number of pregnancy, trimester, type of delivery, placental location, and liquor, where the result showed that mean age equal to (27.04±6.045) yrs., liquor equal to (5.527±0.4546cm). A significant correlation noted between the GA and liquor, while common placental location found to be posterior most commonly in age group of 27.2-30.5 yrs. Most fetal presentation appear to be in cephalic direction rather than the others most commonly in age group of (17- 20.3yrs.).In Conclusions: US has an excellent presentation of placental location and therefore assessing the related abnormalities. VI ملخص الدراسة فحص المشيمة باستخدام الموجات فوق الصوتية واحدة من اهم الوسائل لتحديد موقع المشيمة بالنسبة للجنين ومايتعلق بها من مشاكل صحية. هذه الدراسة وصفية تهدف لتحديد ودراسة مواقع المشيمة الطبيعية للحوامل السودانيات من اجل تحديد الوضع اﻻكثر شيوعا المتعلق بالحمل الطبيعي. حيث جمعت البيانات من داخل مستشفي امدرمان لﻻمومة )ام درمان( خﻻل الفترة من نوفمبر للعام خمسة عشر والفين الي اكتوبر للعام ستة عشر والفين, حيث ان عدد مائة من الحوامل في الثالوث الثاني والثالث تم فحصهم بالموجات فوق الصوتية باستخدام جهاز توشيبا – 0666. وحدد موقع المشيمة في الوضع الطولي عند نفطة انقراز الحبل السري, غير ان المتغيرات التي جمعت لتحقيق هذه الدراسة كانت كل من عمر اﻻم, القطر العرضي للراس, عمر الجنين, عدد مرات الحمل, الثالوث, نوع الوﻻدة, موقع المشيمة والسائل اﻻمنيوني. فوجد متوسط العمر )40.62±0.626( سنوات ومتوسط قياس السائل )6.640±6.2620(سم. حيث لوحظ وجود عﻻقة قوية بين عمر الجنين والسائل بينما وجد الوضع اﻻكثرشيوعا للمشيمة هو الخلفي شائعا بين اﻻعمار من )40.4 – 56.6(سنوات. كما وجد ان الوضع اﻻكثر شيوعا للجنين هو باتجاه الراس شائعا في اﻻعمار بين )70- 46.5(سنوات. ختاما الموجات فوق الصوتية تعتبروسيلة فعالة في تحديد موقع المشيمة ومايتعلق بها من اوضاع غير طبيعية.

It is a unique characteristic of the higher mammals. In humans it is a thick mass about 7 in. (18 cm) in diameter, liberally supplied with blood vessels. It usually weighs about 1 to 2 pounds (about 1/6 of the weight of the baby). The placenta is attached to the uterus, and the fetus is connected to the placenta by the umbilical cord (http// Wikipedia.com). The placenta develops from the chorionic villi at the implantation site at about the fifth weeks of gestation and by the ninth or tenth week of diffuse granular echo texture of the placenta is clearly apparent at sonography (callen, 2007). Placental location is described with respect to its relative position on the uterine wall and its relationship to the internal OS. The placenta may be described as predominantly anterior, posterior, fundal, right or left lateral.
