Can the position of the placenta change?

After the pregnancy is confirmed, the baby will have an embryo in the mother's belly. It grows and develops slowly by absorbing nutrients from the embryo. Therefore, the embryo is an important component of the fetus's life. Many friends are not very clear about the understanding of the embryo. The baby will move back and forth in the mother's belly, so what about the embryo? Will its position change? Let's learn about it together below.

Will the position of the embryo change?

The embryo is not easy to move, and the position of the placenta seen by expectant mothers is different. This is because the position of the embryo in the inner wall of the uterus will change as the uterus grows. In the later stage, the uterus will continue to rotate to the right, so the position of the placenta seen by B-ultrasound will change. So it's not that the embryo will move. The embryo can grow and expand as the uterus expands and there is no possibility of movement.

What is the placenta

The embryo is a human organ that grows collaboratively from the embryonic membrane and the mother's uterine wall during pregnancy and is used to exchange substances between mother and child. The fetus grows and develops in the uterus, obtaining nutrients from the pregnant mother through the embryo, and both sides maintain complete consciousness. The embryo also produces a variety of hormones, enzymes, cytokines, etc. to maintain a normal pregnancy. The embryo is also a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient called placenta.

Function of the placenta

Material exchange: gas exchange (oxygen exchange, carbon dioxide exchange); supply of nutrients (balance of supply and demand of all nutrients needed for the baby's development); removal of metabolic substances from the fetus' body. Defensive effect: Although the natural barrier function of the embryo is extremely limited, it does have a certain natural barrier effect against some germs, pathogens and drugs. Production effects: such as human chorionic gonadotropin, human placental lactogen, estrogen, estrogens, oxytocinase, thermostable alkaline phosphatase, cytokines and cell growth factors. Immune function: enables pregnant mothers to accept and not resist the fetus. The actual mechanism is still unclear at this stage.

The above introduces things about the embryo. Under normal circumstances, the embryo will not move. It will only grow bigger and bigger. If the embryo falls, it proves that the fetus is at risk of miscarriage. Therefore, monthly prenatal examinations need to be checked on time to deal with the growth and development of the fetus in time, and special circumstances can be treated in time. Therefore, prenatal check-up is something that cannot be relaxed.
