A member asked:
Do tums cause calcification of the placenta? what other factors cause calcification of the placenta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Tums do not.: If calcification is noted, it can be from normal aging of the placenta, as the pregnancy progresses. If it is happening too early, it can be from smoking, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, or diabetes, for example.
