Several placental disorders can affect neonatal outcomes. These include:
1. Placental Insufficiency: This occurs when the placenta cannot deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, often leading to IUGR. 2. Placenta Previa: This condition involves the placenta covering the cervix, which can cause severe bleeding during pregnancy and delivery, posing risks to both mother and newborn. 3. Placental Abruption: A serious condition where the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely, leading to potential fetal distress or stillbirth. 4. Chorioamnionitis: Infection of the placental tissues and amniotic fluid, which can result in neonatal sepsis and long-term developmental complications.
