The findings of this study suggest that there is a significant increase in placental thickness with increasing GA during the first and second trimesters. Additionally, placental thickness significantly increased in the posterior placental position, as well as in women with high BMI. Therefore, it is recommended that measuring placental thickness should be routine during obstetric ultrasounds.
