What to do if the posterior wall of the placenta is low

When a woman becomes pregnant, there are many things she needs to pay attention to, because in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is still unstable, and many accidents are likely to occur at this time. Under normal circumstances, the placenta of the fetus is implanted on the back wall of the uterus, but many fetuses have a low placenta when implanted. This is a relatively dangerous phenomenon. Pregnant women should rest more and not overwork.

How to deal with low-lying posterior placenta

First of all, it is recommended that all pregnant mothers do not worry too much. Being too worried is actually bad for the baby and themselves. For some pregnant women with a low-lying placenta, as the gestational age increases, the lower segment of the uterus will lengthen and the position of the placenta will rise, and the placenta will no longer be in a low-lying position. If there is no obvious discomfort before 28 weeks of pregnancy and the fetus is developing well, it is recommended to continue observation without treatment. If the placenta is still low-lying during B-ultrasound examination at 28 weeks of pregnancy, treatment is required.

Because the posterior wall low-lying placenta is prone to prenatal bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is large, it may be complicated by premature birth, stillbirth and intrauterine fetal death. You just need to pay attention to your daily health care to reduce the chance of complications. Pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and do not use excessive force when changing body positions, including when defecating. Avoid constipation and sexual intercourse. Go to the hospital immediately if you notice bleeding.

Precautions for low-lying posterior placenta

1. Do an ultrasound every 4 weeks during pregnancy

Pregnant women with low-lying placenta must have regular ultrasound examinations. Experts recommend going to the hospital for a check-up every 4 weeks during pregnancy.

2. Closely monitor the condition

Pregnant women with low-lying placenta must pay close attention to their condition. If a pregnant woman experiences heavy bleeding, repeated bleeding, or is about to give birth, termination of pregnancy should be considered depending on the circumstances.

3. Choose cesarean section to terminate pregnancy at the right time

After 35 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of uterine physiological contractions increases and the bleeding rate of low-lying placenta increases significantly, which is very dangerous for both the fetus and the pregnant woman. Therefore, at 36 weeks of pregnancy, we should start to check whether the fetus's lung development is mature. If it is mature, we will choose cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy.

Nursing methods for low-lying posterior placenta

Observe the condition

First of all, when pregnant women learn that they have a low-lying placenta, they should observe their condition and detect any abnormalities during pregnancy in a timely manner. So that you can seek medical attention in time when bleeding occurs to avoid serious bleeding.

Pay more attention to exercise

Many experts point out that proper exercise during pregnancy can help women with childbirth. However, if you are a pregnant woman with a low-lying placenta, you should not engage in relatively intense exercise. Even when doing simple exercises in daily life, do not do movements such as squatting, running, and jumping. Because such actions are not helpful for controlling and treating the patient's condition, but will affect the health of the pregnant woman and cause the condition to worsen.

Emphasis on thought

In addition, expectant mothers must pay attention to the situation of low-lying posterior wall of the placenta during pregnancy. The disease is extremely harmful to both the mother and the fetus. Many pregnant women suffer from the continued development of their symptoms due to their own negligence, which eventually leads to serious adverse consequences.
