molar pregnancy is a rare complication. This occurs when egg and sperm meet at conception, but the cells did not grow in a way that can support a pregnancy, and there are abnormalities in the cells that grow to form the placenta.

There are two types of molar pregnancy:

This means there are two copies of chromosome from the father. It is not possible for the embryo, amniotic sac and placenta is normal to grow. In contrast, the placenta forms a mass of cysts look like a bunch of grapes. These cysts can be seen on an ultrasound scan.

2. partial molar pregnancy ,in most partial molar pregnancies the fertilized egg has 23 chromosomes from the mother but a set of duplicated from the father. This means there are a total of 69 chromosomes instead of the normal 46. This can happen when chromosomes from the sperm that can be copied or when two sperm fertilize the same egg.
In a partial molar pregnancy, the placenta will begin to grow. This means that the embryo does not begin to develop. There may be a fetus, or some fetal tissue or amniotic sac. Unfortunately, even if there is a fetus, it just does not have the right to genetic survival.
