What is a Molar Pregnancy
Molar pregnancy, also known as hydatidiform mole, is a rare type of conception occurring about 1 in every 600 pregnancies. It is not well understood why a molar pregnancy occurs but we know that a problem occurs at the time of conception when the sperm and the egg join together.
