Question : Hello doctor, on my ultrasound today everything was OK, but I see this part where it says that I have a grade 2 placenta in the grannum scale. Is this OK for 27 weeks? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

The placenta starts to mature at this stage. Grade 2 at this stage is fine. Don't worry about it.

Repeat a scan after one month.

Then the baby is getting the nutrition and oxygen he needs? Everything in the scan was fine, that was the only thing that worried me
