Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am currently 8 months pregnant. I started taking Calcium Forte since 6 months. Yesterday, I had a B and the doctor said the placenta has calcified to degree 1. I am wondering if this affects the fetus? Will it lead to fetal hypoxia? I am very worried. Should I consider a C-section now!Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your placenta condition indicates that the placenta has matured and is aging. If the amniotic fluid condition and the baby's fetal movement are good, you can wait for another week and then have a follow-up ultrasound. If the above conditions are not good, you can deliver earlier. Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of genetic risk to pay attention to warmth and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
