[|Human|] Hello Doctor, I have been diagnosed with Grade 2 placenta at 27 weeks after my doctor suggested me to go for ultrasound as she felt the growth of baby was between 24 to 26 weeks (less at this stage) in a manual checkup. Though the baby s growth was normal till now as shown in ultarsound, I am worried for my baby s development in future. please advise how can I make sure everything is normal & I have a normal delivery. thanks & regards Pooja
[|AI|]  Dear Pooja, Placental gradation suggests the maturity of the placenta. At 26 weeks of gestation, the placenta has not matured fully and hence grade 2 maturity is within normal expectations. As the pregnancy advances, the placental maturation will progress to complete maturation by term. At 27 weeks of gestation, ultrasonographically assessed fetal age of 24-26 weeks is not abnormal nor does it suggest growth retardation. Variation by a week or so by ultrasonography is permissible. I feel, you should take these investigations as within normal limits and monitor them in the future. Continue to consume high protein, moderate carboy Chat Doctor.  I hope this helps you.
