Patient's question:
Is a 39-week placenta grade 2 normal? When is it considered aged and a cesarean section is needed??Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's normal. If you haven't had any reaction by your due date, you should get checked. If it's not yet your due date, don't worry.Being one week early or late with your due date is perfectly normal. However, if you reach your due date and still haven't had any contractions, it's best to have an ultrasound during your check-up to confirm whether the amniotic fluid and placenta are both normal, and to check for signs of placental aging or cloudy amniotic fluid. If everything looks good, just wait patiently for the contractions to start. If there are any cloudy signs, the doctor may recommend induction.
Generally, when you start to see blood-tinged discharge, feel mild cramping, or have the frequent urge to urinate, you should go to the hospital right away. I hope your baby is healthy and adorable.
