Things You Should Know About A Molar Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an exciting time for any woman, but with the many
pregnancy complications out there, it can also be scary for
first time mothers. It has been reported that one in every
thousand pregnancies in the U.S. is a molar pregnancy, which
makes it one of the most common pregnancy complications for
women today.
What is a molar pregnancy? This occurs when a sperm fertilizes
an empty egg. Even though it's empty, it continues to develop
and a placenta is formed despite there being no fetus. The
hormone HCG is also produced which fools the body into thinking
that there is a pregnancy when there is only placenta.
A partial molar pregnancy occurs when two sperms fertilize an
egg. However, instead of forming twins, in this type of
pregnancy, something goes wrong and an abnormal fetus and
placenta is developed instead. As there is double the sperm, the
fetus receives too many chromosomes and instead may die in the
womb.
Molar pregnancy symptoms One of the first molar pregnancy signs
you may notice is spotting which could lead to heavier bleeding.
Depending on the severity of the case, the bleeding may start as
early as 6 weeks into the pregnancy or as late as 12. Another
common sign of this type of pregnancy is nausea, abdominal
cramping and swelling.

If you are experiencing any of these
symptoms and feel as though your pregnancy may be molar, don't
hesitate to consult your doctor.
Molar pregnancy treatments A D&C (dilatation and curettage) will
be used for treatment. This is a safe procedure in which a small
vacuum is inserted into the uterus to remove the placental
parts. However, great care must still be taken as not to provoke
any excessive bleeding or blood clots. This type of pregnancy
can recur as some women may just be prone to them. If this is
the case and after your first such pregnancy, you have another,
consult your doctor about special treatments to prevent this
from happening again.
Molar pregnancies are a tragic way to lose a child, but having
one does not mean you are never going to have another baby
again. Make sure you are aware of molar pregnancy symptoms and
regularly go to the doctor for consultations.
