Placenta
Placenta is the organ that attaches itself to the uterus during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It provides blood, oxygen, and nourishment to the fetus while also allowing a way for waste to exit the baby's blood as well.

Is it dangerous if placenta does not come out?
If the placenta does not come out then the doctor has to inject you with hormones to help you pass it out. If that still doesn't work then the doctor has to manually take it out, because if the placenta stays inside of you, it poses a health risk to the mother.
You have low backache feel sick tired flutters in your stomach can you be pregnant?
Yes! Those flutters or cramps and the low back ache could be signs that your uterus is working on expanding in preparation for growing a baby. The nausea could be from low blood sugar or progesterone production.
The irony is, a low back ache and nausea can also be symptoms that menstruation is approaching.

You can hear placenta but not heartbeat 13 weeks pregnant?
This may not be a good sign, or the baby could be in a position that is hard to hear. Ask for an ultrasound right away also go in for another test to hear the heartbeat in the meantime, also think about whether or not you have felt any movements yet. There is a chance that the baby's heart may have stopped and you have not miscarried on your own. But do not get too worried yet, remember that you are in control of your visits and demand an ultrasound right away. Good luck.
What does it mean if the ultrasound shows a placenta and no baby?
This is most likely to be what is called a "Blighted Ovum". This is due to a chromosomal abnormality occurs in the early stages after conception. It is not dangerous usually but you may need a curette if it doesn't abort naturally. A blighted ovum does not contain an embryo and is only the placenta and sac. Do a Google search or ask your doctor for more info. It is unlikely to be ectopic or where a baby has actually died in utero (see bottom two answers). This is because the embryonic sac would not be empty and there would remain some evidence of an embryo. With a blighted ovum no true embryo existed.
AnswerThis could be an ectopic pregnancy, where the egg implants itself outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. This is not uncommon but is very dangerous and requires medical attention asap. AnswerUnfortunately if there is an empty pregnancy sac at 10 weeks the baby has died.An ectopic pregnancy does not produce an empty sac and it is usuallly apparent way before 10 weeks.
AnswerI'm very sorry to hear about that - it does sound like a blighted ovum. And very hard to go through. I've had two confirmed blighted ovums, which unfortunately are due to chromosomal problems (usually this is the cause) the baby did not form past a certain point (which happens very early in the pregnancy) and was reabsorbed by the mothers body. Your body sometimes does not realize this has happened for quite a while (which would be a missed miscarriage). I didn't know I had a blighted ovum until I was in my fourth month the first time (when I went to the ER with slight bleeding) and I was 11 weeks pregnant the second time (and I had no idea that the baby had died until we had an ultrasound done at the first appt). I had to have a D & C for both of them, I guess my body just didn't want to let go. So anyway my point is - Don't believe people when they tell you that there was never a baby, because that is just hurtful and insensitive. This is very common but that doesn't make it hurt any less. And it doesn't make you feel better to think that there was never a baby. I have had a total of 3 miscarriages (this first one miscarried at 6wks) and consider myself the mother of 3 angel babies. On a good note - they usually have no bearing on your future pregnancies, because I'm pregnant again I'm at 9 wks and 6days today! This is a confirmed healthy pregnancy (I've had 2 ultrasounds already and have seen the heartbeat and seen the little peanut move around just last week). So good luck with your future pregnancies, everything will be fine!What things do the placenta hormones do?
produce many hormones which affects the pregnancy and maternal physiology.
What is the umbilical made from?
An umbilical cord is made out of the same stuff that a baby is made out of, it contains blood vessels.
In the process of childbirth when is the placenta expelled from the uterus?
Most likely will you develop a infection when the placenta decompose before you get a chance to get pregnant and that alone can cause a miscarriage. See a doctor ASAP. After a miscarriage you will often need a D&C to clean out the uterus. The miscarriage is not over until everything is out.
Can pregnant women have honey?
Yes, pregnant women can have honey. Just like anything, don't have it in excess.
Babies cannot have honey- as in, babies that have already been born. Their digestive system doesn't fully eliminate honey as grown ups bodies do and bacteria can build up in their intestines. However, if you are a mother who is currently pregnant or breastfeeding a baby- it is safe because the honey passes through YOU and is broken down safely before passing onto your baby. Just don't give your son or daughter honey after birth until they are about two years of age so their bodies have time to fully metabolize and break down the enzymes that can turn into bacteria.
Is a placenta and a womb the same thing?
No. The womb is your uterus. The placenta is what attaches the baby to the umbilical chord and provides the baby with nutrients. During labor the female will expel the placenta after the baby is delivered.
How waste and products transferred after the placenta is formed?
it goes to the mothers blood
hope this helps! lololololol
What is one adaptation of placenta helping the rate of diffusion?
Nutrients, oxygen, and disease fighting substances.
You're welcome because you don't have to read aye? xD
Why IgM do not passes through placenta in pregnancy?
This is because their is no receptor to facilitate IgM on the placenta. IgM is too big is a common, and wrong misconception.
At what gestational age does the umbilical cord start working?
The umbilical cord begins developing 6 to 12 days after conception when the blastocyst becomes three separate layers, the placenta, the umbilical cord / amniotic sac and the baby - when this happens the zygote drops into the uterus, attaches to the uterine lining and officially becomes an embryo.
The developing placenta trigers the hCG level to rise and within a week it reaches a level high enough to confirm the pregnancy.
Why immunoglobulin G alone can cross placenta?
IgG is an immunoglobluin monomer, meaning that it is one immunoglobulin that is small enough to cross the placenta. An example would be the Rh antibody that causes isoimmunization between Rh negative mothers and Rh positive fetuses. In constrast, ABO blood group immunoglobulins are IgM which is a pentamer, meaning it is composed of 5 immunoglobulins and is too large to cross the placenta.
Can the umbilical cord detach before birth?
That is the preferred way for babies to be born. The end of the umbilical cord that is attached to the baby obviously comes with the baby. Once the baby is safely delivered you go into stage 3 of labor, your uterus starts clamping down and you may feel a slight urge to push. Usually the placenta comes out intact with the "other end" of the cord attached to it.
Your doctor or midwife will examine the placenta to make sure there are no tears or pieces missing and they will check the umbilical cord to see that there are 3 blood vessels. (occasionally there are only 2 cord vessels).
A condition called placenta previa means the placenta is coming first or is blocking the baby's exit, a condition called Placental abrupture means the placenta is pulling away from the uterine wall before the baby is delivered. Either of the conditions are reason for an emergency c /section when a woman shows up at the hospital.
A woman who has a placenta previa generally bleeds frequently throughout the pregnancy so it usually diagnosed in the 2nd trimester. There is also a good chance that the placenta will move up off the cervix before labor starts, as the uterus grows.
What is a placenta formed from?
The placenta is developed during pregnancy from the implantation of a blastocyst. The blastocyst creates the outer layer of the placenta. This continues to developed into two more portions and then develops an outer protective layer. The placenta grows throughout the entire pregnancy.
What if umbilical cord comes off early?
If the cord does not fall off before baby's 1 month check - up, ask the pediatrician for advice.
