Low-lying placenta bleeding

If the placenta is low and bleeding occurs during pregnancy, it is very dangerous and you need to take appropriate treatment measures. Generally speaking, you need to pay close attention to your symptoms. Once bleeding occurs again, you need to stop the pregnancy, otherwise it may endanger your life. In addition, you should try your best to find out the specific cause of your placenta previa.

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.

Closely monitor the condition

If heavy bleeding, repeated bleeding, or labor is imminent, termination of pregnancy should be considered depending on the circumstances.

Causes of placenta previa

Usually, if the pregnant mother is of advanced age (over 35 years old), and has uterine malformations, fibroids, scars, etc., the chance of placenta previa will increase. In addition, the chances of this happening are greatly increased for pregnant women who have given birth multiple times or have a history of placenta previa.

When a pregnant mother falls into one of the above situations, she should pay more attention.

Possible consequences of low-lying placenta

At the same time, because the placental detachment surface of placenta previa is close to the external cervical os, bacteria can invade the placental detachment surface from the vagina. Coupled with postpartum anemia and weak physical condition, it is easy to get puerperal infection.

Moreover, premature and perinatal mortality rates will also increase.

Keep close observation and follow the instructions of the attending physician.

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.

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 actions are absolutely inappropriate. For example, squatting.
