I'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?

I've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?

Irregular periods can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms and may suggest lifestyle changes, medication, or further tests to help regulate your cycle. It's important to address this issue for your overall well-being.
