This is crossectional descriptive study done in Khartoum state from August to Octobor 2016 to assess the placental grading correlation to gestational age. The proplem of study that was maturation of the placenta before 36 week is assign of pregnancy complication.. the aim of study to asses placenta grading in correlate to gestional age ,A sample was 101 pregnant women from 12-40 week gestational scan by ultrasound ,the data collected by data collection sheet then analyzed by statistical package for social science . The study found that The most common pregnant women age was (47.5%) between 20 and 30 years, and (1%) more than 40years, (24.8%) had primegravida , (51.5%) had gravity between(1- 5) , (23.8%) more than 5. (33.7%) nilliparous, (51.5%) had parity between(1-5) , (14.9%) more than 5. (14.9%) had placental grade 0, (33.7%) had placental grade1, (49.5%) had placental grade2, and (2%) pregnant women had placental grade3.the fetal gestational age (15.8%) between 12-18 weeks , (37.6%)between 19-29weeks, (45.5%) between 29 -39weeks, and only about (1%) had40 week pregnancy. (43.6%) had anterior upper and (39.6%) had posterior upper placental and (16.8%) had fundal placenta. The study found the appearance of the placenta on ultrasound examination changes with advancing gestational age. Postive significant statistically Correlation between placental grading and Gestational age(r= +0.895 ). The study concluded that there is positive statistically significant correlation between placenta grading and gestational age . The study recommended that further studies with larger sample volume to correlate between placenta grading and gestational age , to correlate between placenta grading and gravity ,parity .
