A member asked:

What is a lobulated placenta during pregnancy? and what could be the causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The term just means instead of one pancake like disk there is one that has at least one branch (lobe) off to a side. It happens occasionally. What this means for an individual must be interpreted by the doc who has all the information about the case.
