P37.8: Other specified congenital infectious and parasitic diseases
In most people, yeast fungi occur in the mucous membranes of the mouth, in the throat and in the digestive tract. Sometimes yeast fungi spread more than usual and then cause illness.
During pregnancy or during the birth, pathogens can be passed from the mother to the child. Pathogens can be passed to the child via the placenta or via the mother’s body fluids, for example. But pathogens can also get into the womb via the vagina. If the amniotic sac bursts, the pathogens can also be passed to the child. If pathogens have been passed to the child, the child may suffer health problems.
The placenta forms in the mother’s womb during pregnancy. The placenta consists of cells from the mother and cells from the unborn child. The umbilical cord connects the child to the placenta. When the pregnancy begins, the amniotic sac containing the amniotic fluid develops in the womb. The amniotic sac surrounds the child.
