Every mother will go for regular maternal check-ups during pregnancy, because repeated examinations can not only effectively detect whether the baby has congenital malformations in the mother's belly, but also detect the baby's healthy growth. The 33rd week of pregnancy is also in the early stages of pregnancy. At this time, the baby is not fully developed. But if the placenta is tested and the result shows that the placenta is grade one, is it normal? The maturity of the placenta is determined by the length of time the fetus has been in labor, and one cannot blindly say whether it is normal or not. Let’s talk about the grading of placental maturity: grade 0, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3. Grade 1 marks the basic maturity of the placenta. Grade 2 indicates that the placenta is mature. Level 3 indicates that the placenta has aged. Due to calcification and cellulose deposition, the placenta's ability to transport oxygen and nutrients is reduced, and the fetus is in danger at any time. The placenta function is divided into 3 levels. Level 1 is the best and can provide good nutrition to the baby. Level 2 placenta begins to age, but it will not affect fetal absorption. Level 3 placenta means that the baby is about to be delivered. Generally, the placenta reaches level 1 maturity between 30 and 32 weeks of gestation. In the early stages of pregnancy, the biggest concern clinically is that the function of the placenta will age as the time passes. In other words, the longer the time passes, the greater the possibility of placental aging. If the placenta ages, it will not provide enough nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, which may cause fetal hypoxia. If the fetus is deprived of oxygen, it is likely to die in the womb or develop brain damage after birth. The maturity of the placenta is different for each person: Mid-pregnancy (12-28 weeks) - placenta grade 0. Late pregnancy (30-32 weeks) - placenta grade 1. After 36 weeks - placenta grade 2 (relatively mature). If a grade 3 placenta is found before 37 weeks and combined with the value of the biparietal diameter and the estimated fetal weight of 2500 grams, placental precocity should be considered and the patient should be alert to the possibility of intrauterine growth retardation. At 38 weeks, the placenta enters stage 3, indicating that the placenta is mature. Placenta is divided into four grades Grade 0: immature placenta; Grade 1: indicates that the placenta is basically mature; Grade 2: Late sign: the placenta is mature; Level 3: Late sign indicates that the placenta has aged. Due to calcification and cellulose deposition, the placenta's ability to transport oxygen and nutrients is reduced, and the fetus is in danger at any time. |
