Several complications can affect the villi, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. These include:
Placental Abruption: Premature separation of the placenta from the uterus, affecting oxygen and nutrient delivery to the fetus. Placenta Accreta: Abnormal attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall, which can cause severe bleeding during delivery. Infections: Conditions such as chorioamnionitis can damage the villi and lead to preterm labor.
Nurses must be vigilant in recognizing signs of these complications, such as unusual bleeding or abdominal pain, and ensure prompt medical intervention.
