What Causes Thick And Bulky Placenta?
I am 9 weeks pregnant at a routine scan the ultrasound showed placenta was thick and bulky but baby measured correctly, I have previously had a partial molar pregnancy 5 months ago. Can you shed some light on what might be going on? And if I will lose baby?

hi thanks for writing to us
thick placenta can be due to many reasons from diabetes...to many other clinical conditions
since there is a previous history of partial molar pregnancy ,whether the thickness of placenta is homogenous or hetrogenous gives more light on the condition
beta hcg will throw more light on the condition
hope this information was useful
