I am 31 weeks and my doctor said my placenta was a stage 2?? I am not sure what this means? and what it means for the baby?

im sorry I dont either. I never even heard of that but im curious of the response

I'M NOT SURE EITHER BUT I LOOKED IT UP. AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND-

Placental grade--The placenta can be seen by ultrasound. Sometimes it will appear to have tiny white flecks in it. These spots are calcifications (calcium deposits) and are a normal sign of maturing. The more calcifications, the higher the grade assigned by the ultrasonographer. If calcifications are seen too early in the pregnancy, it can indicate that the placenta is aging too rapidly. In this case, the baby will be evaluated for growth at intervals to be sure he is getting the nutrients that he needs.
