What is a circumvallate placenta and could it cause any problems?

In circumvallate placenta, the placenta presents with elevated margins because the location as to where the placenta attaches at implantation is too small for the entire placenta to attach causing the placental edges to be loose. The could possibly cause the placenta to function poorly and not supply the baby with adequate o2. The placenta ends curve and curl inwards. The problem is if the placenta continues to develop in more and more curve and then separates from the uterus. That would mean the need for an emergency delivery of the baby so it becomes very critical the earlier this happens. I don't know the odds of the placenta separating, and nothing may happen at all, it's just important to make sure the baby is getting the nourishment it needs via the placenta and act immediately should any bleeding occur. The doctor said it's not common to see this and there is nothing I have done in the past or anything I can do to avoid problems with separation.

What is the name for separation of the placenta?

Also called "Chorioamniotic Seperation", or Placental abruption it is most common in late birth, after 20 weeks. Anything sooner will most likely result in excessive hemmoraging and cause the baby to abort. Late in pregnancy it will require lots of bedrest. Other cases can include only a slight tear and mean severe pain for the mother but no apparent bleeding, still, this should be reported so your doctor can monitor and it does not turn into something more threatening to you and the baby. Threatening to the baby because the placenta is a vital 'organ' to the baby while in gestation and separation can create distress (rapid, abnormal heartbeat, low blood pressure) in your baby which in late pregnancy could require a premature delivery. The best remedy for placenta separation is to closely monitor it with your doctor, and only take the advice of your doctor.

What do you do if your dog doesn't fully deliver placenta?

If you believe your dog has a retained placenta, you need to take her to a veterinarian to have her examined. A retained placenta can cause infection and necrosis of the uterus, which could kill your dog. Note: when taking your dog with new puppies to the vet, you need to take all the puppies with you - it's not a good idea to try to leave them at home. Nestle them in a laundry basket or a plastic storage bin with towels across the bottom to transport them safely.
