Prayer for my Placenta

I have never prayed for a placenta before and yes it sounds odd, but I'm sure God has heard stranger. I had another appointment today and it was the first time I wasn't told that everything was perfect. I will start by saying the baby and I are fine so don't fret. Basically the doctor said that my latest blood results came back and there was one hormone in the abnormal range. This impacts the placenta. My understanding is that the placenta is what connects the mother to the baby. It allows for nutrient exchange, waste elimination, and blood flow. The doctor told me that everyones placenta ages throughout pregnancy, but mine seems to be getting old too quickly. He said it's considered an insufficient placenta placing me back into the high risk category. If your placenta ages too quickly, there is a chance that it would completely die off and prevent the baby from getting the things it needs. Now with that said before I worry everyone he indicated that for every 50 woman that have this elevated hormone, it really only becomes an issue for 1. He assured me that it will not hurt the baby in anyway because all it means is that they will have to monitor me more closely and if it looks like it's starting to fail or the baby isn't gaining weight, worst case scenario would mean they would make the decision to deliver early. As I said before however, in most cases this is not needed and woman go on to full term. He also said I might not be able to go home for Christmas. This does not impact future pregnancies and I was told over and over not to worry, so I will say the same to you. We do ask however that you keep us in your prayers so that she can grow strong.
