How does a mediport work? A port consists of a reservoir compartment (the portal) that has a silicone bubble for needle insertion (the septum), with an attached plastic tube (the catheter).

The placenta is an organ that provides nutrients to your baby while youâre pregnant. Its typical location is in the upper part of the uterus, and it normally detaches from the uterine wall after you deliver your baby. However, in the case of placental abruption, the placenta detaches too early. This can cause complications, because your baby may not get enough oxygen or nutrients. You can also experience bleeding thatâs harmful to you and your baby.
