It seems like it is sometimes combined with cases of IUGR! I'm glad your LO was nice and healthy :) I have other complications from cholestasis so I will be delivering by 36 weeks. Baby needs all the growth she can get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thick-placenta-at-anatomy-scan#post-2022527 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:38:20 +0000 FaithFertility 2022527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told I had a "big" placenta and it was anterior, but they never mentioned it again until I gave birth, when the MW said Wow that is one of the biggest placentas I've seen, and said it shows a good life support for baby! :)</p> <p>DD was 8lb 7oz and 21 1/2 inches :))) ♥ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thick-placenta-at-anatomy-scan#post-2022465 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:06:19 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 2022465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi!<br /> I had my anatomy scan today. Baby is doing well measuring 3 days ahead. They mentioned I had a thick &amp; bulky placenta.</p> <p>She said it can be harmless, it could have to do with GD (had it with my son but passed the early 1 hour screening so far) and it can also be an indication of being exposed to a congenital virus like Parvo or something. They are testing me to check for those viruses and stuff.</p> <p>Essentially it can cause growth restriction. I already have growth scans at every appt and weekly starting at 28 weeks.</p> <p>Has anyone had this diagnosis? </p>
