Submitted fresh is a placenta with membranes and umbilical cord.  The eccentrically inserted cord measures 18 cm. in length and 1.2 cm. in diameter, and contains three blood vessels. It is tan-white and shows a right twist. The membranes show marginal insertion. The sac is incomplete. The point of rupture cannot be determined.  The placental disc is oval in shape, weighs 805 grams and measures 25 cm. x 22 cm. x 3 cm. The fetal surface of the chorionic  plate is gray white with moderate subchorionic fibrin. The chorionic vessels are mildly distended, torn with good demarcation of cotyledons. Calcification is mild. Multiple sections show spongy, red parenchyma with no focal lesions. Sections submitted: A1: cord and placenta near cord insertion, A2: membranes and placenta in mid portion, A3: membrane roll.

FINAL REPORT:
1. LARGE THIRD TRIMESTER PLACENTA, WEIGHT 805 GRAMS.
2. UMBILICAL CORD WITH THREE BLOOD VESSELS AND ACUTE FUNISITIS.
3. THROMBOSIS OF FETAL STEM VESSELS.
4. ACUTE CHORIOAMNIONITIS, MODERATE, WITH CHORIONIC VASCULITIS.

I feel like my doctor is not telling me everything I need to know.  What does this mean?

Thank you:)

Thank you for your help.

Chorioamnionitis is a condition that can affect pregnant women in which the chorion and amnion (the membranes that surround the fetus) and the amniotic fluid (in which the fetus floats) are infected by bacteria. This can lead to infection in both the mother and fetus, and, in most cases means the fetus has to be delivered as soon as possible.
What are the causes of chorioamnionitis?

Chorioamnionitis is caused by a bacterial infection that usually starts in the mother’s urogenital tract. Specifically, the infection can start in the vagina, anus, or rectum and move up into the uterus where the fetus is located.

Chorioamnionitis occurs in up to 2 percent of births in the United States.
What are the risk factors for chorioamnionitis?

Certain factors might create a higher risk for chorioamnionitis, including:

    Premature birth
    Fetal membranes that are ruptured (the water has broken) for a prolonged time

What are the symptoms of chorioamnionitis?

Although chorioamnionitis does not always cause symptoms, some women with the infection might have the following:

    High temperature and fever
    Rapid heartbeat (The fetus might also have a rapid heartbeat.)
    Sweating
    A uterus that is tender to the touch
    A discharge from the vagina that has an unusual smell

How is chorioamnionitis diagnosed?

Chorioamnionitis is most often diagnosed by physical exam and the findings listed above. Other clues can be found by taking a blood sample from the mother and checking for bacteria. In addition, the doctor might take samples of the amniotic fluid to look for bacteria. The doctor might also use ultrasound to check on the health of the fetus.
How is chorioamnionitis treated?

If your doctor diagnoses chorioamnionitis, he or she will treat you with antibiotics to help to treat the infection. However, the treatment is to deliver the fetus. In addition, if the newborn has an infection, he or she will be given antibiotics, as well. I am sorry  was this of any help to you ..
