What should I do if the placenta is low in the sixth month of pregnancy?

Pregnant women sometimes experience this situation during pregnancy - the placenta is low. In fact, it is normal for the placenta to be low in the early stages of pregnancy, but when the pregnancy is six months old, the low placenta needs timely treatment. However, expectant mothers who have this condition do not need to worry too much. As long as they know the treatment methods, there will not be too many problems. Next, I will tell you what to do when the placenta is low.

The normal attachment of the placenta is on the posterior wall, anterior wall or lateral wall of the uterine body. If the placenta is attached to the lower segment of the uterus or covers the internal cervical os, and is lower than the presenting part of the fetus, it is called anterior low placenta.

The possible consequences of a low-lying placenta are: as the pregnancy progresses, especially in the late pregnancy or after delivery, the lower segment of the uterus gradually stretches, the cervical canal disappears, and the cervical opening dilates, but the placenta does not develop with the expansion of the cervical opening. As a result, it detaches from its attachment point, and blood vessels rupture, causing vaginal bleeding.

When a pregnant mother has a low-lying placenta, she should take appropriate self-care measures, but avoid all strenuous exercise, such as running, jumping, etc., and some actions are absolutely inappropriate. For example, squatting.

If the placenta is low, there is the fear of placental abruption. Because of its location at the bottom, it is easily affected by many factors. You cannot engage in strenuous activities in normal times, walk less and sit more. It is not that you cannot move, but don't walk for too long each time. When giving birth, depending on your situation, cesarean section is generally recommended. The placenta has grown well and will not move. You should still have regular prenatal check-ups and pay more attention to it. Go to the hospital if there is bleeding or pain: If you have bleeding, lie down immediately or sit, reduce walking, and pay attention to protecting the fetus.
