Doctor's answer:
Please make a reasonable speculation about the asker's condition. Those who plagiarize the content of the question or provide perfunctory answers will not be included in the additional reward summary. Under normal circumstances, after the fetus is full-term, the maturity of the placenta will exceed 2-3 degrees. The growth rate of the fetus should be synchronized with the maturity of the placenta.Prematurely mature placenta indicates abnormal conditions. An early-maturing placenta increases the amount of blood flow, thereby enhancing oxygen supply and nutrient delivery to the fetus. This can interfere with the fetus's growth and development, potentially leading to fetal distress in utero, developmental delays, or even near-fatal outcomes.
