The pregnancy blog review is a regular synopsis of recent posts in the blog. I try to cover all topics related to conception, fertility, pregnancy, labor, birth and beyond. Catch up on recent topics in the review. If you have any suggestions for future articles, they are always welcome.

Placental abruption is a condition in which part of the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus. The severity of the tear can range from mild to severe. Learn more in What is Placental Abruption?

The other main complication involving the placenta is known as placenta previa. This is when the placenta grows to partially or completely cover the cervix. If the placenta remains in this position late in the pregnancy, a c section is necessary. Learn more in What is Placenta Previa?

A link between Infection and Preterm Labor was discovered in a study performed at Stanford University. Research into causes of preterm labor is intended to reduce the rates of preterm birth in the US and around the world.

There is possibly nothing scarier during pregnancy than discovering you are spotting. In some cases, there is no threat to the baby. However, in certain situations, bleeding can signify trouble. Learn more in When to Worry About Spotting.

Proponents of natural child birth have long said this method is better for bonding with baby. Now, research is confirming these beliefs. Read more in Is Natural Birth Better for Bonding?

Progesterone is sometimes prescribed to women trying to conceive a baby. There are several types of progesterone including tablets, suppositories and injections. Learn more about each type in Types of Progesterone.
