Hydatidiform mole -hydatidiform mole begins as a pregnancy but early in the development of the embryo degeneration occurs. the proliferation of the vesicle-like substances is rapid causing the uterus to enlarge bigger than the expected size based on ages of gestation (aog). in the situation given, the pregnancy is only 5 months but the size of the uterus is already above the umbilicus which is compatible with 7 months aog. also, no fetal heart beat is appreciated because the pregnancy degenerated thus there is no appreciable fetal heart beat.
