For women who have not yet entered the stage of marriage and childbirth, what the placenta is is not very clear. The main function of the placenta is to provide nutrients for the child. When the placenta gradually matures, it indicates that the fetus has matured and can give birth. Most women eventually get married and have children, so it is necessary to know in advance. So what does' fetal maturity level one 'mean?
Generally speaking, during the second trimester of pregnancy, which is around 12-28 weeks, the placenta is at grade 0; In late pregnancy, around 30-32 weeks, the maturity of the placenta will reach level 1; After 36 weeks, it will be level 2. Normally, as pregnancy approaches full term, the placenta becomes more mature, and its function gradually decreases as the fetus matures.
In fact, the maturity of the placenta is not directly related to the development and maturity of the fetus, or when the fetus gives birth. The maturity of the placenta is only a judgment marker, rather than the key and factor determining the above two situations. Usually, the placenta is not graded at the beginning of pregnancy.
Pregnant mothers can have another B-ultrasound in two days or a month to check the condition of the placenta. If there is grade 2 or above placental aging, it may be caused by hypertension or anemia. At this point, expectant mothers should seek timely medical advice and find the correct solution.
