Ultrasound is a useful adjunct to the physical examination, particularly in obstetrics patients. By ultrasonography we visualize the placenta position in-situ and describe various positioning of placenta in the uterus. The placenta is positioned at different sites in the uterus which can predict methods of parturition. The objective of this study is to investigate the different positions of placenta as seen in ultrasound scan and it's significant in parturition among women in Delta state. The study comprises of 150 women who registered for antenatal care at Eku Baptist Hospital Eku, Delta state, and have given birth in the Hospital. The pregnant women were examined with ultrasound scan which determined the positions of the placenta at the radiodiagnostic department. The different positions such as anterior, posterior, fundal and previa were recorded. The methods of deliveries were also taken note of in the pre-maternal labour forms in obstetrics/gynaecology department and health record office of the Hospital. Data were presented as mean and standard deviation; data were analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The cases of previa were related to the type of delivery out of 28 cases of previa 18 women delivered by caesarean section and 10 had normal delivery. 10 out of all are previa type I, 7 are previa type II, and 11 are previa type III. All type III cases delivered through caesarean section.
