What Does My Scan Report Indicate?
Question: My wife is in her 9th month. Today she had growth scan. PFA the report and let me know ur views.
Brief Answer:
Low lying placenta needs to be confirmed
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the report.
It shows a normal growth and appropriate weight of the fetus at this gestational age.
Placenta dipping into lower segment means the lower edge of the placenta is in the lower uterine segment.
However, the low lying placenta causes problems in normal delivery only if the lower edge is less than 2.5 cm from the internal os of the cervix.
This distance can be easily measured in the ultrasound and should be done to decide the mode of the delivery.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
RBS needs to be repeated
Detailed Answer:
Hi back dear,
Normal delivery is possible if the lower margin of the placenta is 2.5 cm above the internal os.
Baby's position is good for normal vaginal delivery.
RBS needs to be repeated, rest can be skipped if Negative earlier in pregnancy.
