Normal placenta: Placentas do not begin their development normally until 10 or more weeks gestation as the corpus luteum of the ovary provides all the needed progesterone to sustain the developing fetus through the first trimester.

Normal anatomy scan at 18 weeks except twin As placenta is marginal anterior & there is a very small blood clot over my cervix. Do these things put me at a significant increased risk for miscarriage? MFM just said recheck in 4 weeks. Nervous?
