Does a thick placenta have any effect on the fetus?

The normal condition of the placenta also has a reference value. If the placenta is too thick, it will have a certain impact on the baby, because the placenta is very important for both the mother and the baby. It is two connected organs that can help the baby absorb nutrients from the mother's body to complete normal growth. So if there is something wrong with the placenta, it will interfere with the fetus. So, does a thick placenta have an impact on the fetus?

After 28 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta of the pregnant woman is attached to the lower part of the uterus, and the lower edge of the placenta even reaches or covers the internal os of the cervix. Its position is lower than the fetal presenting part, which is called "placenta previa". When the pregnancy is less than 28 weeks, this condition is diagnosed as "placenta previa". The typical symptoms of placenta previa are unprovoked, painless, recurrent vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy or during labor. The initial bleeding is generally not much. After the blood flow at the placental detachment site coagulates, the bleeding stops naturally. Sudden heavy bleeding may also occur. If there is no bleeding, it will not affect your normal life. Traveling will be tiring, so you should pay attention to rest.

The examination results showed that the placenta area was small, which meant that the nutritional supply to the baby was relatively less, and the baby was also smaller in size. This was the main reason.

The thickness of a normal placenta is 2.5-3.8 cm, and the thickest should not exceed 5 cm. A placenta that is too thick or too thin is abnormal. Placental thickening generally indicates complications for the pregnant woman and some abnormalities in the growth of the fetus in the uterus. The placenta is small and the fetus absorbs less nutrients. Have regular prenatal checkups.

The main reason for a low placenta is to fear heavy bleeding. It is not necessarily caused by a low placenta. Do prenatal checkups during pregnancy, every 4 weeks for the first 36 weeks, and once a week after 36 weeks. Pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy, supplement folic acid in the first three months, and start supplementing calcium, iron and other trace elements needed by the body in the fourth month.

A low-lying placenta can cause irregular vaginal bleeding in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, and can easily lead to premature birth. In your case, it is best to receive appropriate fetal preservation treatment during pregnancy. You can have regular prenatal check-ups to check the growth and development of the fetus and strengthen nutrition and get more rest.

If this situation occurs, it is considered to be caused by poor development. Generally, it is better to find the cause and then treat it. If the child has no deformities but is just malnourished, it is better to preserve the fetus and strengthen nutrition. Don't consider other things.
