Summary

This study examined whether the weight and size of the placenta can help predict serious pregnancy complications. Researchers measured placentas from 440 women, including those with conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. They found that smaller placentas were linked to problems such as early delivery and low birth weight. This research may help doctors identify high-risk pregnancies earlier.
