Actually, many people don't quite understand the situation where babies can be born at what stage of maturity. However, there is no need to dwell too much on this issue. Usually, during the prenatal examination in the hospital, the doctor who helps with the examination will explain it, but it is also possible to have a proper understanding. So, at what stage of maturity can babies be born?
Actually, it is generally referred to as the maturity of the placenta, not the maturity of the baby. If it is a normal pregnancy, it can be given birth when the placental maturity reaches level 2, mainly through ultrasound examination to understand the maturity of the placenta. However, it should be noted that the maturity of the placenta is not the only factor that can determine the birth of the fetus. Whether it can be produced also depends on the development of the fetus.
So how many levels of placental maturity are there?
Overall, it is mainly divided into four levels, including level 0, level 1, level 2, and level 3.
Generally speaking, before 7 months of pregnancy, the maturity of the placenta is level 0, which actually represents the placenta, which is completely immature. However, around 8 months of pregnancy, the maturity will reach level 1. So at 9 months, the maturity of the placenta is at level 2. If the maturity has reached level three, it indicates the occurrence of placental aging, and it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of fetal hypoxia.
