Will growing a placenta prevent miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow. During my ultrasound at 80 days of pregnancy, it showed the placenta was 1.5 cm thick, Grade 0 function, and the fetal crown-rump length was 3.5 cm. I've had one previous miscarriage, which was very painful, so I'm very worried about this pregnancy. Could the current size of the fetus be too small? I've heard it should be around 5 cm to be normal. If it is too small, what should I do? Could it be a sign of another miscarriage? Some people say that as long as the placenta has developed, you can rest a little bit. Is that true? Please give a detailed answer. Thank you!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The fetal head and hip diameter is 3.5, which is consistent with pregnancy in the 70s days, less than the time you mentioned. There are two possible reasons for being smaller: one is late pregnancy, and the other is poor development.
Advice: Embryonic arrest generally occurs more easily in the early stages of pregnancy, but it can still occur after the third month of gestation. In your case, it is important to rest and consider taking pregnancy preservation medication for preventive use.
