Hello friend,
With the question "How should I abstain from placental calcification at 35 weeks of pregnancy?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The placenta (placenta) is an exchange part. substance between mother and baby. It ensures the endocrine role, nourishes the fetus. In addition, the placenta also helps prevent toxins and bacteria from invading, helping to protect the fetus.
Placental calcification (placental calcification) is a phenomenon that proves the maturity of the fetus, but does not mean that the placenta is degenerated. For the most part, the amount of calcium that accumulates is at the allowable level without affecting the function of the placenta. Therefore, does not affect the fetus
Calcification formed in the placenta is a normal phenomenon. This shows that the fetus is growing. In cases of grade 1 calcification at 27-28 weeks, the fetus still develops a good weight. Calcification does not greatly affect placental metabolism. Because calcium is deposited at the rim of the placenta, the middle part of the placenta helps to provide nutrients to the fetus.
Calcium is needed by the body to maintain bones and teeth, and to clot. Nerve function, muscle and heart rhythm are normal. Calcification of the placenta is not caused by drinking a lot of calcium. Therefore, mothers still need to supplement enough nutrients every day to ensure the health of mother and baby. In addition, the following issues should be noted:
Be careful with drugs when used in combination with calcium. Because they affect the absorption of calcium into the pregnant mother's body. Periodic antenatal check-ups and calcium supplements as prescribed by a specialist. Calcium supplements need to pay attention to the diet, the type of calcium used. Drink the right amount of calcium needed for pregnant women daily on average 1000-1500 mg/day. If you still have questions about 35 weeks pregnant with 2nd degree placental calcification, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
