Low flow brown discharge from placenta

Low placenta poses certain risks to pregnant women, and many women also experience brown discharge when they have low placenta. In order to ensure a normal delivery, if the placenta is low, you must perform proper physical conditioning to ensure that the placenta can return to its normal position. So, what should you do if the placenta is low? The following will give a detailed introduction!

1. Have prenatal checkups on time

You should go to a regular hospital for prenatal check-ups on time. Through ultrasound, you can understand the condition of the placenta, fetal development, whether there is anemia, blood type, etc. The doctor will develop a corresponding treatment plan based on your condition. If the diagnosis is severe placenta previa, or combined with RH negative blood, or combined with advanced age and other complications, the hospital will recommend that the pregnant mother go to a qualified hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Observe vaginal bleeding

Pregnant mothers all know that the main symptom of low placenta is vaginal bleeding, which often manifests as unprovoked, painless, recurrent vaginal bleeding in the late pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant mothers should pay attention to whether there is vaginal bloody secretion or vaginal bleeding. Once bleeding occurs, go to the hospital immediately to avoid heavy bleeding.

3. Observe abdominal pain

Once irregular uterine contractions occur, it is more likely to cause heavy bleeding compared to a placenta in a normal position. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to abdominal pain (uterine contractions). Some pregnant women do not have obvious abdominal pain when observing uterine contractions. At this time, if they feel their abdomen tightening or touch their abdomen hard, it is uterine contraction. If there are occasional uterine contractions every day, it generally does not cause bleeding.

4. Enhance nutrition

Placenta previa (especially central placenta previa) during delivery is very likely to cause postpartum hemorrhage. If diagnosed with severe placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage is inevitable. Therefore, during pregnancy, special attention should be paid to eating more foods high in iron to increase the reserves of hematopoietic raw materials. Pregnant women who already have anemia should take blood-enriching drugs orally to actively correct the anemia.

5. Avoid irritation

Pregnant women with low placenta should avoid uterine stimulation, so they are prohibited from having sex. They are also advised to avoid weight bearing, drink plenty of water and eat fresh vegetables to prevent constipation.

6. Keep a happy mood

Pregnant women with low placenta often have a strong fear, anxiety and tension, which affects their sleep, causing uterine contractions, increasing the risk of heavy bleeding, and creating a vicious cycle. Therefore, pregnant mothers should try to adjust their mentality and maintain a happy mood.
