Patient's question:
At 29 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta is 3.4 cm thick. At 35 weeks, the placenta thickness is 6.65 cm, with a maturity of grade 2. The placenta is thick, could there be a possibility of placenta previa?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and rest in bed. If you are hospitalized, the doctor will require you to stay in bed all day without any other treatment. Regarding the ultrasound examination you mentioned to observe the implanted placenta, this is quite challenging. Since you have a complete anterior placenta, there is a possibility of an implanted placenta, but the chance of detecting it through ultrasound is not high. It can only be discovered during labor or postpartum.
