Abstract: Background of study: “Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world” The placenta is a vital organ in pregnancy, providing nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus and removing waste products from the bloodstream. It forms gradually during the initial trimester and grows alongside the uterus throughout pregnancy. Once fully developed, the placenta resembles a spongy disc, typically 20 cm in diameter and 3 cm thick. It attaches to the uterine wall, with the umbilical cord connecting the fetus to the placenta. However, complications can arise during pregnancy, posing risks to both maternal and fetal health. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), one woman died every two minutes in 2020 due to pregnancy-related avoidable causes, accounting for approximately 800 deaths each day. By 2030, maternal mortality is to be reduced to less than 70 deaths per 1,000 live births.
