I am now in my sixth month of pregnancy and no abnormalities were found in the color ultrasound examination. The situation you are worried about is generally not likely to occur. The incidence of spontaneous placental abruption is very low. It is usually caused by external force hitting the abdomen, or it is prone to placental abruption due to abnormal conditions such as high blood pressure, anemia, and polyhydramnios. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and do not squeeze or injure your abdomen.

A small number of placental abruption bleeding mainly manifests as vaginal bleeding and mild abdominal pain.

Do not go to crowded places, avoid taking buses, and do not drive to avoid falling or causing collisions and squeezing of the abdomen.

Falling can sometimes lead to placental abruption. There are many reasons for placental abruption. Sometimes walking rashly or lifting objects can also cause placental abruption. Everyone is reminded to pay attention.

How to know if you are okay if you fall during pregnancy

If a pregnant woman falls, it cannot be concluded that she is fine just because there is no clinical vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain. The main way to determine is to have a doctor's examination to see if there is any uterine contraction; and to have a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is blood accumulation in the uterine cavity, so as to determine whether there is a problem. If uterine contractions and blood accumulation in the uterine cavity occur, bed rest and active fetal care treatment are required. Therefore, once you fall during pregnancy, you should pay enough attention to it. Even if you don't feel any pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out abnormalities, and then decide whether it needs to be treated. It is best not to wear high heels during pregnancy, as this will make walking more stable and prevent falls.

1. There are bound to be some bumps and setbacks in daily life. Sometimes, the more careful you are, the more likely it is that something you don’t want to happen will happen. Pregnant women are more worried about falling, because there are many such cases in reality that lead to miscarriage. Therefore, when pregnant mothers fall, they are worried that something might happen to the fetus. In fact, as long as the pregnant woman does not experience any abdominal pain or physical discomfort after standing up, it will be fine.

2. If there is no discomfort in the abdomen, pregnant mothers also need to check whether there are any abnormalities in the fetus. The baby's movements in the belly are different from before, and there are even more frequent fetal movements. At this time, you need to be careful. However, it is not ruled out that pregnant mothers may be frightened and cause fetal movement. It is recommended to observe for a period of time.

3. Pregnant mothers can also observe whether their appetite is normal. If they fall in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, they may also have a loss of appetite. However, such a situation may also occur in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant mothers should promptly identify the cause.
