Placenta is small and globular
Hi, I m 20 weeks pregnant and my last anomaly scan says that my placenta is small and globular. My doctor said not to worry about it and she suggested Lycored and Ecosprin 75mg. I am worried about this condition. Why these medicines were prescribed. Is small placenta a major issue ?
