What is it when a twin is reabsorbed by the body in the first trimester resulting in extra amniotic fluid and umbilical cord double in size?
The phenomenon you are describing is known as "vanishing twin syndrome." It occurs when one twin is reabsorbed by the mother's body during early pregnancy, usually in the first trimester. This can lead to an increase in amniotic fluid and may cause the surviving twin's umbilical cord to appear larger than usual due to the changes in the uterine environment. This condition can sometimes be detected through ultrasound.
What else can I help you with?
Which parts are not present before a woman becomes pregnant?
Placenta, umbilical cord, fetus, amniotic sac with amniotic fluid. Basically everything related to the fetus.
What three structures protect and nourish the developing embryo?
Placenta, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord.
The embryonic cells that proliferate and eventually form the placenta umbilical cord and the amniotic sac are called?
Trophoblasts
Which vessel removes urine from the bladder in the fetus?
The umbilical vessel removes urine from the bladder of the fetus via the kidneys. The umbilical vessel has many uses in the fetal/placental environment.
How many weeks of pregnancy is it until amniotic sac forms?
The amniotic sac begins forming about 12 days after conception - the blastocyst becomes an embryo with three separate layers that will become the baby, the umbilical cord and the amniotic sac. This corresponds with implantation and hCG beginning to rise.
Where is the mothers placenta located?
It is the sack that surrounds the fetus in the womb/uterus. It contains the amniotic fluid and has the umbilical cord passing through it.
Is it normal to have low amniotic fluid in the first trimester?
No it is not normal, It is usually an indication of something wrong with the baby. But it can also work itself out..Good luck!!
What are the 5 stages of birth?
first the cervix opens, amniotic sac breaks, labor pains, birth of baby, placenta and umbilical cord are forced out by contractions
When does a baby start producing urine?
A baby starts producing urine around 8 to 14 weeks into gestation. By the second trimester, the kidneys are formed and begin to filter blood and produce urine that is released into the amniotic fluid.
What changes happen to a fetus in the 1st trimester?
The fetus began as just two cells that joined and started dividing rapidly, by two weeks the cells became an embryo, placenta and umbilical cord - by the end of the first trimester (11 to 12 weeks) the fetus has all the organs in place that he or she will be born with, the genitalia are still to immature to visually detect the baby's sex but will be fully developed in just a few weeks. The baby to be has a beating heart, functioning bladder and practices breathing by inhaling the amniotic water.
Does a fetus drink amniotic fluid?
Yes, a fetus does ingest amniotic fluid. This process begins around the second trimester and is important for the development of the fetus, as it helps in the maturation of the digestive system and lungs. The swallowing of amniotic fluid also contributes to the overall fluid balance and helps the fetus practice essential functions it will use after birth.
Would cause vaginal swelling during your third trimester?
There is a lot of pressure on the lower part of your body (waist down) by the third trimester because the baby is quite heavy now (and then there's all the amniotic fluid too). It is very normal to get this kind of swelling
