Study Notes

  • Days 9-10: formation of multinucleated trophoblastic mass, extroembryonic mesoderm, connection stalk, filling of lacunar spaces with maternal blood.
  • Day 13-14: continued development.
  • Abnormal implantation can cause placenta previa and life-threatening bleeding.
  • Ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation happens outside the uterus, typically in the uterine tube.
  • Hydatidiform mole is a condition where the trophoblast develops and forms placental membranes without embryonic tissue.
  • hG can be detected at the end of the 2nd week and is used for pregnancy testing.
  • Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the uterine tube, with the embryo typically dying around the 2nd month of gestation.
  • Placenta previa can cause severe bleeding in the 2nd part of pregnancy.
  • Hydatidiform mole involves abnormal development of the trophoblast.
  • Continued development occurs throughout the described period.
