The placenta is a structure that is formed at the time of embryo implantation in the uterus. Therefore, the formation of the placenta usually takes place in the week of pregnancy and continues to evolve until the third or fourth month of gestation. At this point, the placenta is fully formed, but it may undergo some changes until the end of the pregnancy.
