Question

Is baby growth affected by low placenta?


Open in App
Solution

Placenta:

  1. The placenta is a transient circulatory organ found in mammals that connects the fetus to the mother's uterus during pregnancy.
  2. As the pregnancy period increases, the size of the womb also increases which changes the position of the placenta.
  3. The area where the placenta attaches to the cervix normally stretches higher.
  4. The placenta may hinder the baby's exit if it remains low in the womb, nearby, or covering the cervix.
  5. Thus baby growth is affected by a low placenta.
