What should pregnant women do if they have low placental bleeding?

Pregnancy is a process that every woman must go through, but not every woman's pregnancy goes smoothly. Some pregnant women may have a low placenta and bleeding. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be that the woman has had a miscarriage before, and pregnancy again may cause a low placenta and bleeding. If you encounter this situation, don't panic too much. You can rest in bed, reduce exercise, and adjust yourself appropriately. It is possible to heal itself.

Reasons for low placenta in pregnant women:

1. Symptoms may develop as the fetus grows, and placenta previa may occur, which is related to the implantation of the fertilized egg.

2. It may be that the mother has had a miscarriage.

3. Or the uterus may have inflammation before pregnancy. If you have symptoms of painless bleeding, you must be hospitalized and follow the doctor's instructions to avoid accidents.

4. It is placenta previa. Placenta previa refers to the position of the placenta attached to the lower part of the uterine side wall. It is divided into partial placenta previa, complete placenta previa and marginal placenta previa. The characteristic symptoms of placenta previa are painless vaginal bleeding. The duration of vaginal bleeding is related to the position of the placenta. Generally, complete placenta previa will bleed earlier and the amount of bleeding is larger.

Precautions for pregnant women with low placenta:

1. Reduce activities and rest in bed, preferably lying on the left side. If you have abdominal pain, bleeding or other discomfort, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as straining during bowel movements, frequent coughing, squatting, etc. Avoid stimulating the abdomen with your hands, and move gently when changing body positions.

3. Keep the vulva clean, place a sanitary cleaning pad on the perineum, and change underwear frequently to prevent infection.

4. The diet should be nutritious and comprehensive, and include more foods high in iron, such as dates, lean meat, and animal liver, to prevent anemia. To avoid constipation when bedridden for a long time, you should increase your intake of vegetables and fruits and develop a habit of regular bowel movements.

5. People who are bedridden for a long time should do appropriate limb exercises, and family members can help with lower limb massage to prevent muscle atrophy and thrombosis. At the same time, perform deep breathing exercises every day to exercise lung function and prevent the occurrence of pneumonia.

6. Perform fetal self-monitoring and count fetal movements by yourself.

Final advice: If the situation remains the same when the due date arrives, choosing a cesarean section is the safest for both you and the fetus. Now try to rest in bed, lying on your left side. This will help your blood circulation and prevent fetal hypoxia.
