I was having contractions and bleeding since my 3rd month of pregnancy. I had premature delivery at 22 weeks. A test on my placenta reveals acute chorionamnionitis. Please explain in layman's terms the pathology report and what caused this and what I can do to prevent this from recurring in my future pregnancies.. "..discoid placenta..weighing 350 gms..eccentrically located umbilical cord..fetal surface is blue gray with easily stripped off membrane and anastomosing blood vessels. the maternal surface is red brown and complete. serial sections show no infarcts..blood clots..show varizised chorionic villi some of which are vascular while others are lined by a single layer of trophoblasts. the chorion and amnion are infiltrated by acute inflammatory cells. the umbilical cord is unremarkable.

Thank you
