We all know that the placenta is used by the fetus during pregnancy to absorb nutrients and help with its own development. Therefore, it is not until the baby is born that the placenta is successfully removed. The degree of the placenta varies from early to late pregnancy, so when doing an examination, it is also necessary to check the level of the placenta. So, is it normal for the placenta to be at level one at 35 weeks of pregnancy?
Is Grade 1 placenta normal at 35 weeks of pregnancy
The maturity of the placenta is determined by the length of fetal time, and cannot be blindly judged as normal or abnormal. Roughly speaking, the grading of placental maturity is: grade 0, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. Level 1 marker indicates that the placenta is basically mature. Level 2 marker: The placenta has matured. Level 3 marker: The placenta has aged, and due to calcification and cellulose deposition, its ability to transport oxygen and nutrients is reduced, putting the fetus at risk at any time.
The disc function is divided into three levels, with level 1 being the best and providing good nutrition for the baby. Level 2 indicates aging of the placenta, but it will not affect fetal absorption. Level 3 indicates that the baby is about to give birth. Generally, placental maturity level 1 occurs between 30-32 weeks of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the biggest concern in clinical practice is that the function of the placenta will age over time, which means that the longer it lasts, the greater the possibility of placental aging. If the placenta ages, the nutrients and oxygen provided to the fetus will be insufficient, which may cause fetal hypoxia. If the fetus lacks oxygen, it is easy to die in the uterus or develop brain lesions after birth.
Everyone's placental maturity is different: mid pregnancy (12-28 weeks) - placenta grade 0. Late pregnancy (30-32 weeks) - Grade 1 placenta. After 36 weeks - placenta grade 2 (relatively mature). If placenta grade 3 is found before 37 weeks and combined with biparietal diameter values and an estimated fetal weight of 2500 grams, placental precocity should be considered and the possibility of intrauterine growth retardation should be alerted. At 38 weeks, the placenta enters grade 3, indicating placental maturation.
The placenta is divided into four levels
Grade 0: Immature placenta;
Level 1: Indicates that the placenta is basically mature;
Level 2: Late sign that the placenta has matured;
Level 3: Late signs indicate that the placenta has aged. Due to calcification and cellulose deposition, the ability of the placenta to transport oxygen and nutrients is reduced, and the fetus is at risk at any time.
The above is an introduction to the placenta. The level of the placenta is related to the birth of the fetus, so during general examinations, especially when the baby is about to be born, doctors will check the maturity of the placenta to determine whether the baby can be born. Therefore, if you still don't understand through the above explanation, you can consult relevant doctors to be straightforward and help you better understand this aspect.
