A member asked:
Obgyn said placenta was small at 1.8lbs, my daughter was 8.5. i've read that the average placenta is only 1lb. is my dr mistaken about small placenta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UR right/OBGYN wrong: The average placental weight at term is 1.2 lbs. Your daughter and her placenta were both on the upper aspect of normal range - not small1.
