Pregnant women usually indicate the grade of the placenta on the prenatal examination form during the process. Some more careful pregnant women may also consult their doctors to see if their placenta is normal and healthy after noticing this index. There are also many pregnant mothers who have not paid attention to this project. So, is it normal to have placenta grade three at 36 weeks?
The placenta usually gradually matures with increasing gestational age. Once the maturity of the placenta reaches a certain level, its function will gradually decline, similar to an aging phenomenon. The nutrients and oxygen slowly provided to the fetus will gradually become unable to function normally. The standard for measuring placental maturity is the placental maturity level, which is generally divided into three levels: level one is the best, level two indicates aging, and level three indicates imminent delivery.
Because 36 weeks is already in the late stage of pregnancy and the fetus is almost full-term, a placental grade of grade three is considered normal. At this time, pregnant mothers should pay more attention to changes in their bodies. If you feel unwell, you should go to the obstetrics department for examination in a timely manner. Regular prenatal check ups are still necessary to grasp the specific condition of the fetus.
The placenta is already approaching maturity, so in daily life, pregnant women should drink more warm water, fresh vegetables and fruits to slow down the aging of the placenta. If the placenta ages too quickly, there is a risk of fetal asphyxia.
