  2. Chorionic bump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorionic_bump

    [1] [2] It is medically defined as a separate entity from a chorionic hematoma. [3] Identification of a chorionic bump in early first trimester pregnancy represents a significant risk factor for pregnancy loss, given a live birth rate of less than 50%. [4] The incidence rate for chorionic bump is estimated to be between 1.5 and 7 per 1000 ...

  3. Chorionic hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorionic_hematoma

    The presence of subchorionic bleeding around the gestational sac does not have a significant association with miscarriage overall. [8] [9] However, the case of intrauterine hematoma observed before 9 weeks of gestational age has been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. [10]

  4. Gestational sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_sac

    The gestational sac is spherical in shape, and is usually located in the upper part (fundus) of the uterus.By approximately nine weeks of gestational age, due to folding of the trilaminar germ disc, the amniotic sac expands and occupy the majority of the volume of the gestational sac, eventually reducing the extraembryonic coelom (the gestational sac or the chorionic cavity) to a thin layer ...

  5. Blighted ovum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blighted_ovum

    When small, the sac cannot be distinguished from the early normal pregnancy, as there may be a yolk sac, though a fetal pole is not seen. In anembryonic pregnancy, levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) typically rise for a time, which can cause positive pregnancy test results and pregnancy symptoms such as tender ...

  6. Chorioamnionitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorioamnionitis

    The amniotic sac consists of two parts: The outer membrane is the chorion. It is closest to the mother and physically supports the much thinner amnion. The chorion is the last and outermost of the membranes that make up the amniotic sac. [13] The inner membrane is the amnion. It is in direct contact with the amniotic fluid, which surrounds the ...

  7. Fetal membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_membranes

    The chorionic membrane is a fibrous tissue layer containing the fetal blood vessels. [4] Chorionic villi form on the outer surface of the chorion, which maximise surface area for contact with maternal blood. [4] The chorionic villi are involved in fetal-maternal exchange. [10]

  8. Monochorionic twins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochorionic_twins

    Various types of chorionicity and amniosity (how the baby's sac looks) in monozygotic (identical) twins as a result of when the fertilized egg divides. Monochorionic twins are monozygotic (identical) twins that share the same placenta. If the placenta is shared by more than two twins (see multiple birth), these are monochorionic multiples.

  9. Prelabor rupture of membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelabor_rupture_of_membranes

    A fetus surrounded by the amniotic sac which is enclosed by fetal membranes. In PROM, these membranes rupture before labor starts. The cause of PROM is not clearly understood, but the following are risk factors that increase the chance of it occurring. In many cases, however, no risk factor is identified. [10]
