A member asked:

Increased blood flow to placenta in the 12th week of pregnancy is it fine or something to worry in the first trimester ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Great news!: First, that there is a functioning placenta. Secondly, perfusion to the developing fetus is going very well and providing nutrients to the fetus.
