Question: Iam 17 weeks 6 days pregnant my scan result shows- Placenta- Anterior, lower end 1.6 cm from internal os. Grade 0. Circumvallate placenta. Is there an complications
Brief Answer:
Certain complications are associated with circumvallate placenta
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below
1. You have a placenta which is having a double back appearance and this is a circumvallate placenta.
2. This is a variation of the normal placenta and can cause complications during pregnancy and delivery. During pregnancy it causes bleeding through the vagina and sometimes the bleed can also stay hidden and this is called subchorionic hematoma. Rarely other complications might manifest including small birth weight baby, preterm premature rupture of membranes, olighydramnios and placental abruption
3. It is also mentioned that the placenta is low place, however the final position is known after 28 weeks are over. If placenta does not migrate to safe position then your doctor will discuss the matter with you.
In conclusion, the baby growth right now is normal but there is a mild problem with the placenta which is circumvallate as mentioned in the report. You should be alert during your pregnancy and follow up with your doctor so that any problem is solved early and your delivery is without any complication.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
