Im 15 weeks, i have just got back from a scan, at my 12 week scan there was a high NT fold, so had further testing done, thank god the results came back clear. :) :) so today had to go and check baby's heart was ok, it is :) on my note the OB has written that my placenta is big, she ddint actually mention it to me.. so just wondering is a big placenta bad, will it cause a problem, or as im only 15 weeks will time tell?
 
If there was any concern she would have told you.
 
https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/ask-heidi/enlarged-placenta.aspx I was told this with my first at my 20 wk scan, it sorted itself out by the next scan :)
 
I was never told during my pregnancy but my OB commented post birth, while examining it, that the placenta was big (it weighed more than 3lbs). I had an 8.5-lb baby. From what I've heard a big placenta simply means you have a big baby.
