Gritty placenta is the medical term. Basically it means that the placenta is getting towards the end of its life and not working as well as it could. It is often but not only seen in women who have smoked during their pregnancy. Often we do not know why one placenta is gritty and yet others are normal. If your placenta is very gritty then yes this can cause your baby to be born early. Your placents does not supply nutrients to your baby. It exchanges nutrients, waste and oxygen between mum and baby’s blood.
