The placenta is very important for the fetus. The placenta of pregnant women is different at each stage, and it needs to be divided into four stages based on maturity: Grade 0 placenta, Grade 1 placenta, Grade 2 placenta, and Grade 3 placenta. Grade 1 placenta indicates that the placenta is basically mature. So, what does early stage 2 placenta mean?
After 36 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta enters the secondary stage, at which point it can be said to be relatively mature. By 37 weeks, the fetus is already full-term and ready for delivery at any time. If the placenta reaches grade three, it is very mature at this time and requires special attention. If there are no signs of delivery yet, a cesarean section is needed for delivery.
Many pregnant women's placenta does not cause grade three, as grade three is very mature and there is a possibility of placental aging. So the placenta is already mature enough at the second stage, at which point it can be prepared for delivery. If the fetal development is delayed and there is no uterine contractions when the placenta reaches grade three, special attention should be paid.
Overall, placental grade 2 indicates that the placenta has matured and is ready for delivery. If the placenta reaches level three, it is too mature and very dangerous for the fetus. If the placenta ages, the fetus may experience hypoxia and require immediate cesarean section to remove the fetus.
