<human>: I am 20 weeks pregnant and had a full congenital scan yesterday, I had a result that I have anterior placent grade 2, no previa.. I am looking on the meaning of this but found no good answer. I am also worried about the .87cm gastroschisis lateral to the umbilical cord found in the scan. What does that mean?
<bot>: Hi, Anterior placenta, no prefix is a normal finding so need not worry about it. Just want to know if this is your first pregnancy or have you had a cesarean before? As if you have not had a cesarean before the anterior placenta has no significance. The 0.87 CMS gastrochisis needs to be rechecked again after 2 weeks by ultrasound. It should subside but if still persists you will need a fetal medicine consultation and will need to speak to the neonatologist prior to delivery. The baby may require a small surgery after delivery to rectify it. This is best discussed after a repeat scan confirming that this finding persists. Hope this helps. Regards.
