After pregnancy, as the duration of pregnancy increases, the placenta gradually matures, leading to some calcification. By the time of delivery, the placenta will fully mature, and there is a certain grading system for the maturity of the placenta during pregnancy. The delivery time is determined based on the level of placental maturity. So what is the typical grade of placenta during childbirth?
After reaching 38 weeks of pregnancy, the maturity of the placenta in most women will reach level III, indicating that the pregnant woman is about to enter the delivery period. Therefore, it can be seen that the maturity of the placenta during childbirth is generally level III. At this point, pregnant women need to prepare for childbirth and it is best to go to the hospital for timely delivery.
Usually, when the fetus reaches the due date, the placenta begins to mature gradually and even undergoes calcification, which is a normal physiological manifestation of the placenta. Therefore, pregnant women do not need to worry excessively. During pregnancy, it is important to undergo all necessary prenatal check ups. If you feel abdominal pain, water breakthrough, or other symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. This often indicates that the fetus is about to be born.
When the placenta calcifies during pregnancy, it also indicates that the fetus's lungs have developed normally, and there may be respiratory abnormalities after birth. Therefore, mothers do not need to worry about the impact of calcification on their baby's health. For the health of the fetus, pregnant women can choose vaginal delivery during childbirth, which can effectively enhance the body's immunity when the fetus is compressed by the birth canal.
