Patient's question:
My good friend is now 5 months pregnant. I went with her to the code generation prenatal doctor who said her placenta is maturing slowly. We know nothing about it, and we want to ask if a slowly maturing placenta is due to calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the slow maturation of the placenta is not necessarily caused by calcium deficiency. If the placenta matures later, you can appropriately supplement with calcium pills or get more sun exposure, which is more beneficial for calcium absorption. The slow maturation of the placenta also indicates a weak body, so you should pay more attention to rest, maintain a balanced diet with a mix of meat and vegetables, avoid raw and cold or spicy and stimulating foods, and focus on strengthening nutrition by eating foods that replenish blood and qi. Good calcium-rich foods can help adjust your body. It's actually better if the placenta matures slightly later, as an overly early maturation can deprive the fetus of nutrients.
