Placental maturity

Placental maturity is a sign of fetal development. There are four levels of placental maturity: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 signifies that the placenta is basically mature; level 2 signifies that the placenta is mature; level 3 signifies that the placenta is aging. Due to calcification and cellulose deposition, the ability of the placenta to transmit oxygen and nutrients is reduced, and the fetus is always at risk.
