Placenta sinus sleeping position

Placental sinusoids usually appear in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. If there are no obvious symptoms of bleeding, you don't need to worry too much. Go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up in time. Follow the doctor's instructions and rest in bed. Don't overwork. If you suffer from placental sinusoids, there are certain requirements for sleeping methods. Generally, you will sleep in the left side position to avoid compressing the fetus and affecting its normal development.

Placental sinus sleeping position :

1. When lying down to rest, try to lie on your left side.

2. If you find that you are not lying on your left side when you wake up, change to that position; if you feel uncomfortable, adopt a position that makes you comfortable.

3. The best sleeping position is the one that makes you feel comfortable. Don’t worry about not being able to lie on your left side. If the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava when lying in the supine position, the amount of blood returning to the heart will decrease, which will lead to insufficient blood supply to the whole body. The expectant mother will experience symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath. This is medically called supine hypotension syndrome. The expectant mother will feel uncomfortable and wake up, and she needs to change her body position.

The placental sinusoid, also known as the placental venous pool (blood pool), refers to the larger, nearly circular dark area in the placental substance in the center of the placenta where there is no villi. Fine spots of light can be seen flowing from the side walls into the dark area.

The first bleeding of marginal placental sinusoids occurs late, usually at 37-40 weeks of pregnancy or after labor, and the amount of bleeding is also less.

Treatment of placental sinusoids: It depends on the size and location of the sinusoids. It is possible that the placenta detaches from the sinusoids due to poor contraction after delivery, causing heavy bleeding. This is the most important thing. It is also possible that the placenta is implanted in the uterine myometrium, causing incomplete placental detachment and heavy bleeding. In addition, the location of the marginal placental detachment surface is close to the external os of the uterus, which makes it easy for bacteria to invade the placental detachment surface and cause infection. Marginal placental bleeding often occurs in the late pregnancy, causing the mother to give birth prematurely, resulting in fetal hypoxia or even death. Surgical delivery is recommended.

Placental sinusitis is common in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Don't worry. Also, avoid strenuous exercise as it generally won't affect the baby. If you have abdominal pain, you should pay attention to rest, avoid large movements, and have regular prenatal checkups. Don't worry, babies in the second trimester are generally very strong.
