Does the placenta help form the umbilical cord?
No, they are not. The umbilical cord is an actual cord that connects the baby to the placenta. The placenta is the lining of the uterus that is developed over the course of the pregnancy. The placenta is a "filter" through which the baby's food and oxygen is delivered via the umbilical cord. Once the baby is born, the umbilical cord is clipped and severed. The final, 3rd stage of labor, is the passing of the placenta. That happens 15-30 minutes after the baby is born. The placenta is then checked thoroughly, to ensure that is in intact, and that no pieces are left behind in the uterus. This is VERY important, because if any of the placenta is left in the uterus, it will cause an infection, high fever, can lead to infertility. If not removed, the outcome can be lethal.
Could a fetus pull on an umbilical cord at 29 weeks of pregnancy causing pain around the belly button area?
yes it can pull, no it shouldn't cause pain because the umbilical cord is not attached to your belly button, its attached to the placenta.

Cause of battledore placenta?
e is no known cause of a battledore placenta. It is simply the way the cord grows out of the placenta, there is also nothing that can be done to change the pattern of growth once it begins to form. It can however be detected by ultrasound examination of the placenta.

What is the definition of accident?

Is it an accident if vehicles do not touch?
Is there more to this question than meets the eye? Basically, if vehicles don't touch then it's difficult to see what accident has happened, but of course, if a body has been squeezed between the vehicles, thereby preventing them from touching, then yes, there has been an accident. Answer: Any Insurance company can be claimed for the damage of the vehicle and not the accident. It is up to the investigating agencies to look into the cause of the damage and ascertain if it was damage to accident in contact with what obstacle. It is not necessary that there a visual contact. Accidents/damages can occur even without a contact for insurance claims to be claimed for.
Percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling - series?
Normal anatomyIf you are at risk for having a baby with a genetic defect or blood disorder, your doctor may recommend percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling (PUBS), which is performed at 18 weeks' gestation.During the procedure, the doctor draws a sample of the fetus' blood directly from the umbilical cord. The sample is then analyzed for genetic defects and other health conditions.This procedure can also be used to check if your baby has anemia. If your baby has severe anemia, your health care provider can immediately give your baby a blood transfusion.Procedure, part 1Guided by ultrasound, your doctor pinpoints the spot where the umbilical cord meets the placenta. He then inserts a needle through your abdomen and uterus and into the umbilical cord and withdraws a small amount of fetal blood.Procedure, part 2There are two routes for retrieving fetal blood: Placing the needle through the placenta or through the amniotic sac. The placenta's position in the uterus and the spot where it connects to the umbilical cord determine which method your doctor uses.If the placenta is attached toward the front of the uterus (placenta anterior), he inserts the needle directly into the umbilical cord without passing through the amniotic sac. The amniotic sac, or "bag of waters," is the fluid-filled structure that cushions and protects the developing fetus.If the placenta is attached toward the back of the uterus (placenta posterior), the needle must pass through the amniotic sac to reach the umbilical cord. This may cause some temporary bleeding and cramping.You should receive Rh immune globulin (RHIG) at the time of PUBS if you are an Rh-negative unsensitized patient.ResultsAfter the blood sample is drawn, it's sent to a laboratory where a technician tests the blood for genetic defects and other disorders. In most cases, the results are ready within a few weeks. Your doctor will explain the results to you and, if a problem is diagnosed, give you information about ending the pregnancy or how best to care for your baby after birth.Reviewed ByReview Date: 02/24/2007Douglas A.

What is posterior grade 2 high lying placenta?
Posterior placenta is when the placenta is located at the back of the motherÃ?s uterus. Placenta praevia means the placenta has not moved up towards the top of the uterus to get ready for birth. Grade 2 means the placenta is near the cervix but not blocking it.
