Wrapped around Placenta

Hi po. May same case po ba dito like sakin na after mag pa pelvic ultrasound naka indicate na wrapped around Placenta daw po si baby at 12 weeks? I'm super concerned sa possible na mangyari. Sobrang nakaka worry po. Mamaya pa po kasi ang check up ko sa OB ko.

Wrapped around Placenta
The term “placenta wrapped around” is not a standard medical term in obstetrics and gynecology, and its exact meaning may vary depending on the context provided by the ultrasound report or the interpreting physician. However, it might refer to one of the following: 1. Placental Position or Shape: It could mean that the placenta is situated in a way that partially or completely encircles part of the uterus or fetal structures. For example: • A circumferential or large placenta wrapping around the uterine wall. • A description of how the placenta appears on imaging without indicating a problem. 2. Umbilical Cord Relation: It could mistakenly describe a condition where the umbilical cord appears wrapped around the fetus (like around the neck or body). This condition is commonly referred to as a nuchal cord but is unrelated to the placenta. 3. Anatomical Variation or Abnormality: If the placenta is in an unusual location, such as growing along multiple walls of the uterus, this might be described as “wrapped around.” Rarely, it could indicate placenta previa (placenta covering the cervix) or an abnormal placental attachment like placenta accreta. It’s important to clarify this finding with your doctor or sonologist, as they can explain it in the context of your pregnancy and whether it requires monitoring or further investigation.
