How does a low placenta feel when pregnant?

Low placenta is a very serious symptom, mainly because low placenta will affect the stability of the fetus and cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Pregnant women with low placenta will experience abdominal pain and vaginal pain. At this time, pregnant women should avoid squatting and participating in strenuous exercise. It is best to rest in bed and adjust their diet according to the doctor's advice to keep the fetus stable.

Do pregnant women feel low-lying placenta?

If it is in the early stages of pregnancy, the placenta may be low-lying. As the gestational age increases, it may become non-low-lying on its own, and pregnant women generally do not feel anything. If it is in the late pregnancy, it is mostly unprovoked, painless and recurrent bleeding. The general condition of pregnant women is related to the amount of bleeding.

What should I pay attention to if the placenta is low?

1. Avoid squatting

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 movements are absolutely inappropriate, such as squatting.

Pregnant mothers already have a bulging abdomen, which puts a lot of pressure on their lower limbs, so it is not easy for them to squat. If a pregnant mother with a low-lying placenta squats, the cervix will expand and the placenta located lower will be stretched, causing detachment and bleeding. Therefore, pregnant mothers with low-lying placenta should never squat.

2. Closely monitor the condition

If heavy bleeding, repeated bleeding, or labor is imminent, termination of pregnancy should be considered depending on the circumstances. It is recommended that close observation be carried out and the instructions of the attending physician be followed.

The above is the relevant situation of low-lying placenta introduced by the editor. It can be seen that although the nature of low-lying placenta is relatively mild, it still cannot be ignored. Symptoms of prenatal bleeding may occur, so pregnant mothers still need to pay more attention to it. In addition, if the pregnant mother has a low-lying placenta, do not use too much force.

What causes low placenta?

1. The fertilized egg develops slowly before implantation. A low-lying placenta is caused by the fertilized egg developing slowly before implantation. When it reaches the uterine cavity, it has not yet developed to the stage where it can implant, but continues to descend and is implanted in the lower part of the uterus, where it grows and develops, causing the placenta to be located lower than normal.

2. Endometrial lesions Endometrial lesions such as multiple births, multiple curettages, cesarean sections and other factors can cause incomplete vascularization of the uterine decidua. When the sperm and egg are implanted, the blood supply is insufficient. In order to meet the needs of fetal growth, the fetus needs to absorb enough nutrients from the mother, thereby expanding the placental area. If the placental area is too large, it can extend to the lower part of the uterus and form a low placenta.

3. The placenta area is too large. For example, most gestational discs often extend to the lower part of the uterus, forming a low placenta.

4. The number of pregnancies of a woman who gives birth too many times will also affect the phenomenon of low-lying placenta. Some women may suffer miscarriage during pregnancy due to certain reasons. Every miscarriage is also a trauma to a woman's body. It is especially harmful to women's uterus. This is also the cause of low-lying placenta.

5. There are certain reasons why pregnant women with diseases such as uterine fibroids experience low-lying placenta. When women reach a certain age, the possibility of developing gynecological diseases increases. Gynecological diseases in women generally involve problems with the uterus.

Everyone has a different physique and will encounter different situations during pregnancy. There are many factors that cause low placenta during pregnancy. The editor has listed a few of them above.
