Placental maturity grade 3 in 35.3 weeks
Hi Doctor, I am 35.3 weeks pregnant and type 2 diabetic, in my pregnancy scan placental maturity grade 3 is showing, as I researched I got to know it's not good to have grade 3 maturity before 36 weeks, is it harmful for baby, will be able to deliver baby safely, please check the report and let me know as I am very worried for my baby's well being.

Maturity in diabetes occurs early that is 2 weeks advanced maturity is there. So if placenta is grade 3 in maturity but color Doppler and rest parameters are normal. Blood sugar is under control then no need to worry

It’s alright, as your delivery will be planned in a couple of weeks, it shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure to keep sugars under control and keep a close watch on baby’s movements. If there is any decrease in baby’s movements pls review at your hospital immediately.

Yes great 3 placental maturity signifies hypermature placenta
Hypermature placenta may not be able to deliver adequate amount of Nutrition to the baby
Since you are diabetic you are adviced to go for delivery after 38completed weeks
Till then make sure that
your sugar levels are normal
you are counting daily fetal moment counts adequately
a Doppler or a bio physical profile till you deliver can ensure fetal well being
