    missed, or recurrent pregnancy loss.

    Ectopic pregnancy is pregnancy implantation outside the uterus, usually in a


    fallopian tube.

    Gestational trophoblastic disease is abnormal overgrowth of trophoblast cells.

    Premature cervical dilatation occurs when the cervix dilates early in


    pregnancy, before viability of the fetus.

    Placenta previa is low implantation of the placenta so that it crosses the


    cervical os.

    Premature separation of the placenta (abruptio placentae), placental


    separation from the uterus before the fetus is born, usually occurs late in
    pregnancy.

    Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a blood disorder that may occur


    with any trauma, so it can accompany such conditions as premature separation
    of the placenta and pregnancy-induced hypertension.

    Preterm labor is labor that occurs after 20 weeks and before the end of the 37th
    week of pregnancy.

    Preterm rupture of the membranes is tearing of the fetal membranes with loss
    of amniotic uid before the pregnancy is at term.

    Pregnancy-induced hypertension is a unique disorder that occurs with


    pregnancy with three classic symptoms: hypertension, edema, and
    proteinuria.

    The HELLP syndrome is a unique form of pregnancy-induced hypertension


    marked by hemolysis of red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes, and a low
    platelet count.

    Post term pregnancy is pregnancy that extends beyond 42 weeks.

    Hydramnios is overproduction of amniotic uid (above 2000 mL), a condition
    that can lead to ruptured membranes and premature birth because of increased
    intrauterine pressure.

    Isoimmunization (Rh incompatibility) is a possibility when a woman who is Rh


    negative is sensitized and carries a fetus who is Rh positive.
