If you already say it: it is very difficult to find a contraceptive method that is 100% effective, and if not ask the woman who owns this placenta, who put an intrauterine device (IUD) as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy and not only got pregnant, but the placenta caught and covered the IUD as saying that "you can already be there, that this baby goes ahead yes or yes".
What is an IUD?
In case you don't know him, an IUD is a contraceptive. It is a device that can be made of plastic or copper and may contain progesterone to help be more effective (those of plastic, since copper already acts by doing that function). They are very effective to prevent pregnancy although, obviously, they do not protect against the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
They are obtained by medical prescription and it is a health professional who implants it in the uterus. While it is there it is effective, and it has as a factor that fertility recovers the moment it is removed. The problem is that the effectiveness is not 100%, since those of copper, which are the second generation, have a failure rate of less than 1% each year and a 10-year cumulative failure rate of between 2% and 6% (copper can take up to 14 years). These percentages may vary and the IUD will be less effective if it moves. That's why it's important check every so often that it is well positioned.
Two threads hang from the IUD that give the clue that it is where it has to be. The review is advised every month, making it the same woman after the rule to check that everything is still in place as usual. If at any time you notice that some thread is shorter or that they are different, you must go to the gynecologist to check if it has moved, then it may not be effective.
What could happen?
Well, the IUD failed, either because, as we say in the title, life managed to break through, or that it moved, leaving the pregnant woman. Maybe you ask yourself: And why didn't they withdraw it then? To which I answer: because they probably saw that it was safer to leave it inside. If, when a pregnancy is confirmed, they see that the IUD is near the vagina and can be removed relatively easily, it is removed. If instead they see that it is deep inside, they leave it because the mere fact of trying to get it out could cause the baby to lose.
A pregnancy with IUD has a higher risk of abortion during the first trimester, as it can cause problems in the implantation of the placenta, but after that time it becomes an anecdote, like the one in the photo: when giving birth not only gave birth to your baby and then your placenta but also the IUD that should avoid all that.
