Placenta: Unraveling Its Role in Prenatal Development

JiangRuoan

– The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy and attaches to the lining of the uterus.
– It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby through the umbilical cord.
– Complications with the placenta can be serious and life-threatening to both the mother and baby.
– The placenta passes oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies from the mother’s blood to the baby and carries waste products back to the mother’s blood.
– It produces hormones like estrogen and progesterone that are needed during pregnancy.
– The normal position of the placenta is usually at the top, side, front, or back of the uterus, but it can sometimes develop low and move higher as the uterus stretches.
– Fraternal twins have separate placentas, while identical twins can share a placenta or have their own.
– Alcohol, nicotine, medicines, and other drugs can cross the placenta and affect the baby’s health.
– Regular visits to a healthcare provider during pregnancy are important to monitor the placenta and identify any complications.
– Prior problems with the placenta in a previous pregnancy or surgery to the uterus should be disclosed to the doctor.
– Smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking certain drugs increase the likelihood of problems with the placenta.
– Consult a doctor before taking any medicines, including over-the-counter medicines, natural therapies, and supplements during pregnancy.
– Seek medical attention if experiencing severe abdominal or back pain, vaginal bleeding, contractions, or trauma to the abdomen.
– After the baby is born, the placenta needs to be birthed during the third stage of labor.
– Placental abruption is when the placenta detaches from the uterus wall before the baby is born.
– Placenta previa is when the placenta partially or fully covers the cervix.
– Placental insufficiency occurs when the placenta does not function properly during pregnancy, resulting in a lack of oxygen and nutrients for the baby.
– Placenta accreta is when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall, potentially causing severe bleeding during or after delivery.
– Retained placenta occurs when the placenta does not fully detach or come out after birth. This can be due to it being stopped by the cervix or still attached to the uterus.
