Q&A: “Placenta fully aged”- what does this mean? Why do I have so many Dr. appointments? Someone please help!

Question by Anonymous Person: “Placenta fully aged”- what does this mean? Why do I have so many Dr. appointments? Someone please help!
1. I have a bicornuate uterus
2. I have low amniotic fluids
3. My placenta is “fully aged” [?]

So I had an ultrasound appointment today [I normally have them every 2 weeks].. Well my Specialist took one look at the ultrasound and shook his said saying, “No, no.. Her placenta is fully aged. Put her on monitoring” and walked out.. So the ultrasound technician said now I’m on monitoring.. Which means I have to drive out of town twice a week to get an ultrasound at some special place.. I think it’s like a half an hour away.. Not that bad.. But should I be freak out?? I mean, I have my specialist/ultrasound visits every other week, my regular OB visits every other week, and now these out of town ultrasound visits twice a week??? It seems a little excessive to me, is something wrong?? What does it mean my “placenta is fully aged”??? My baby is only 4 lbs right now.. I’m so scared he will be born too early and have poor lungs, deformed body parts and grow to be short… HELP
I’m 33 weeks pregnant, currently.

Can someone use a video baby monitor to see inside my apartment?

Question by paparazzi_12: Can someone use a video baby monitor to see inside my apartment?
I have a video baby monitor that has excellent range, but it got me thinking, couldn’t someone buy the same monitor and switch to the same channel and see inside my apartment if they wanted to?

I have the “Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor” and I know it can work with an extra camera (if I bought one)… so in theory, couldn’t that work for my neighbors too?

Technically, this is possible. But generally, most baby video monitors and other electronics nowadays encrypt/decrypt their devices. For example, they can encrypt the signal transmitted from the video monitor, which is then decrypted by the receiver. This will prevent other video monitor/receiver sets from getting the same feed.
