View allI'm currently in my 35th week of pregnancy and just did a growth scan today. They said my placenta is at grade 1 maturity. Plus, my baby is positioned in the anterior upper segment. Should I be concerned about the placenta maturity grade at this stage? And is the baby's position in the anterior upper segment considered normal?
