This condition is called placenta previa and has various grades, from 1 to 4.
It depends how far down, if right Dow, cwentrally over the cervix it will probably stay there and the mother wil;l have to be jhospitalised for the latter part of her pregnancy as this is potentially fatal to mother or baby and if she starts bleeding will need an immediate C-section. If it is height#er it Amy move out of the way.
Progesterone is the hormone that prevents menstruation and maintain pregnancy. It is initially produced by the corpus luteum. After the corpus luteum has broken down, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone from the 8th week of pregnancy until birth. Therefore, it is the placenta which keeps the level of the hormone (progesterone) high throughout pregnancy.
If you are experiencing a placenta but no live baby, then a doctor will need to perform a D&C on you. It is effectively an abortion. They scrape down the insides of your uterus and remove all pregnancy related tissue. You will bleed for 1-2 weeks afterwards as if you have given birth and then your body will "re-set" itself and recognise you are not pregnant. This is a blighted ovum or possibly a molar pregnancy. Tis is not a phantom pregnancy, a phantom pregnancy is all in the mind.
During the 6th month of pregnancy, the baby intermittently sucks its thumb and it can cough and hiccup. it has not laid down fat stores yet and is still thin. length: 13 inches weight: 1 1/4 lbs.
After the placenta is expelled from the body, the uterus immediately begins to shrink down to it's pre-pregnancy size. The nurse will feel for the fundus, or top, or the uterus and measure how far it goes down quite often. The uterus should be rather hard as it is contracting to normal size, but it may become soft, or boggy, and the nurse will massage the uterus until it becomes firm. The placenta will be stored in the hospital lab for about 2 weeks unless there are no complications and the parents request to take it home with them, for whatever reason.
Bending down itself is generally not associated with causing placenta disruption. However, excessive physical strain or trauma to the abdomen during pregnancy can pose risks. It's essential for pregnant individuals to listen to their bodies and avoid any movements that cause discomfort or strain. If there are concerns about placental health, consulting a healthcare provider is recommended.
Your period is the breakdown of the uterine lining. Once a pregnancy is established by the embryo implanting in the uterine lining, the hormone hCG and progesterone kick in to prevent the breakdown. While pregnant the lining does not break down because it is being used to support the placenta and fetus.
Pregnancy begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg, typically during ovulation when the egg is released from the ovary. The fertilized egg, now called a zygote, travels down the fallopian tube and implants itself into the uterine lining. This triggers hormonal changes that support the developing embryo, leading to the growth of the placenta and the development of the fetus over approximately nine months. Regular prenatal care is essential for monitoring the health of both the mother and the baby throughout this period.
The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) helps maintain the corpus luteum during early pregnancy by signaling to the ovary to continue producing progesterone. This is important for supporting the early stages of pregnancy until the placenta is fully developed and can take over hormone production. If the corpus luteum breaks down before the placenta is capable of producing enough hormones, it can lead to a miscarriage.
The same as any woman who was ever pregnant... Nine Months. What is was down to the day has been lost to history.
Depending how far along you were, it could take a while for the HCG and the progesterone to come down. You could experience symptoms until that happens.
Yes, it will not affect your child at all. Unless you wanted to wait to get down to your before pregnancy weight. Then why not!
Growth continues but slows down as the baby begins to take up most of the room inside the uterus.
