Hydatidiform Mole Symptoms & Signs
-
Vaginal bleeding in pregnancy during the first trimester
-
Nausea and vomiting, severe enough to require hospitalization in 10% of cases
- An abnormal growth in the size of the uterus, for the stage of the pregnancy
- Excessive growth in approximately 1/2 of cases
- Smaller than expected growth in approximately 1/3 of cases
- Symptoms of hyperthyroidism:
- Symptoms similiar to preeclampsia that occur in the 1st trimester or early in the 2nd trimester. (This is nearly diagnostic of a hydatiform mole, because preeclampsia is extremely rare this early in normal pregnancies.)
