P02: Fetus and newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes
Fetus and newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord, and membranes refers to a group of conditions that occur when issues arise in these vital components of pregnancy. The placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic membranes serve to provide nutrients, remove waste, and protect the developing baby. When complications happen with these elements, it can result in problems for both the mother and baby. Transmission is typically not applicable as these complications tend to result from genetic factors, poor maternal health, or problematic pregnancies. Common symptoms in newborns can include distress, difficulty with feeding, or developmental delays. These conditions may affect the baby’s cardiovascular, respiratory, or neurological systems and can range from mild to severe depending on the nature and timing of the complication. Disease progression will vary widely and is usually monitored closely by health care providers.
