One Year Molar Pregnancy

A molar pregnancy occurs due to some kind of nutritional deficiency like a protein or carotene deficiency. It can also be caused due to an ovulation defect. It is believed to occur when the nucleus of an egg is inactivated or lost. When the egg loses its nucleus, the sperm tends to duplicate itself.

In a molar pregnancy, there is no amniotic fluid, no fetus, and no placenta. The uterus is filled with a bunch of moles that resemble grapes. The fluid filled vesicles tend to grow rapidly and tend to make your uterus seem bigger. The absence of the placenta does not permit the receipt of blood. As a result, you may notice some bleeding in the uterine cavity. Vaginal bleeding could also occur.

A partial mole pregnancy can also occur. In this condition, two sperms fertilize the same egg. When this happens, there is only partial placenta, fetus, and amniotic fluid. The fetus generally tends to develop genetic problems if it manages to survive. In most cases where there are twins in this type of pregnancy, one of them rarely survives.

Identify Molar Pregnancy

Here are some symptoms that will help you identify a molar pregnancy:.

• Increase in nausea and vomiting
• Rapidly growing uterus
• No fetal movement
• No heartbeat of the fetus
• Vaginal bleeding
• Pregnancy induced hypertension
• Hyperthyroidism
• Increase in hCG levels
• Anemia
• Ovarian cysts

Generally, a molar pregnancy ends spontaneously. If you pass grape-like tissues, it symbolizes the termination of a molar pregnancy. An ultrasound is the best way to detect this type of condition.
Treating Molar Pregnancy

In case the moles do not evacuate on their own, then a suction D&C is used to remove the condition from the uterus. After undergoing this procedure, it is advisable not to attempt at getting pregnant for at least a year. This is mainly due to the fact that even after the complete removal of the tissue, there is a possibility that some part of it may still remain, and this can hinder a future pregnancy.

After a molar pregnancy, there is only a one per cent chance of a recurrent molar pregnancy. Your doctor will conduct complete ultrasound tests and give you detailed reports. He/she will also advise you as to when should you try for a baby again. Follow your doctor’s advice to help you deliver a healthy baby in spite of a previous molar pregnancy.
