Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am currently 38 weeks pregnant. The results of my ultrasound examination are as follows: Fetal BPD 9.2, FL 7.4, maximum amniotic fluid dark area 5.3, and placental maturity degree: Grade 1.History of Treatment and Effect: My check-up results were good at 25 weeks, and the placental maturity was also Grade 1.
Help Needed: I am unsure whether the results of this check-up are good. I am already 38 weeks pregnant and close to delivery. Why is the placental maturity still Grade 1? Is it a good sign or a bad sign?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, according to the description of the situation, if this is normal, it generally doesn't matter. Suggestions: If it reaches second degree and the baby is mature, it can also be delivered normally. The main thing is to check the baby's development. This situation generally won't have a big impact, don't worry. You can check for trace elements and if there is a calcium deficiency, you can supplement with calcium tablets. At 38 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta maturity is only grade one, which could be caused by a calcium deficiency.
