Mature placenta?

Question

Can someone explain better why I have to have my baby a bit earlier due to a chance of having a mature placenta? It isn’t confirmed but they said it’s common with diabetics.

Answer

Placentas deteriorate. If you’re 38 weeks and your placenta thinks it 42 weeks, it may not be optimally functioning. If they’re not functioning at their full capacity, baby isn’t getting all the nutrients/blood/oxygen etc they need so it’s safer for them to be on the outside.

Answer

They’re assuming bc you’re diabetic that your blood flow and circulation might be compromised which would affect the quality of your placenta.
