Thick placenta

Has anyone heard of this before or experienced it? Was told this at 20 week ultrasound, next follow up is 28 weeks. Looking for some info...

Re: Thick placenta

  • What did your OB say about it? Have you done any initial research yet?

  • I would call nurse or leave a message to doctor to ask more questions. I have honestly never heard of it before.
  • Seems like a good question for your doctor!
  • I have tried researching online but haven't had much luck. I'm using a midwife right now but she said she may need to refer me to an OB if it doesn't correct itself. She said if it's too thick the baby won't receive the nutrients it needs to "thrive". She said potentially I would need to deliver early. I asked to have another ultrasound before 28 weeks but she said there is nothing she could do even if I had one prior to that date. She said not to worry, but I am. I just want my baby to be born healthy! I was hoping if someone knew of someone else in the same boat as me to give me more information
