“…These decidual cells degenerate in the region of the invading syncytiotrophoblast and provide nutrition to the developing embryo. 2 At day 7 and 8 after conception, the blastocyst has completely crossed the epithelium and is embedded within the endometrium. At day 8 and 9 postconception, the syncytiotrophoblast generates a number of fluid-filled spaces within its mass.…”

“…The second wave converts the myometrial segments between 14 and 16 weeks of the pregnancy. 2 As a result of these physiological changes, the diameter of the spiral arteries increase from 15 to 20 mm to 300 to 500 mm, reducing impedance to flow and optimizing fetomaternal exchange in the intervillous space. 4 In pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia and IUGR, trophoblast invasion is limited to the decidualized endometrium, which results in failure of the spiral arteries to become lowresistance vessels.…”

Fetal developmental potential is determined at the moment of conception by genetic inheritance. However, this development is modulated by environmental factors. It is important to recognize that both, the mother and the fetus, actively participate in the maintenance of the physiological intrauterine environment. Unfortunately, the fetus is not entirely protected from harmful influences of the external factors. By altering the intrauterine environment, these factors can have a long-term effect on fetal health.
