What Is The Treatment For Anterior Placenta Grade 2 During Pregnancy?

I am 20 weeks pregnant and had a full congenital scan yesterday, I had a result that I have anterior placent grade 2, no previa.. I am looking on the meaning of this but found no good answer. I am also worried about the .87cm gastroschisis lateral to the umbilical cord found in the scan. What does that mean?

Hi,

Anterior placenta ,no previa is a normal finding so need not worry about it.
Just want to know if this is your first pregnancy or have you had a caesarean before? As if you have not had a caesarean before the anterior placenta has no significance.
The 0.87 cms gastrochisis needs to be rechecked again after 2weeks by ultrasound. It should subside but if still persists you will need a fetal medicine consultation and will need to speak to the neonatologist prior to delivery.
The baby may require a small surgery after delivery to rectify it.
This is best discussed after a repeat scan confirming that this finding persists.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
