Pregnant women who undergo early prenatal check ups and find low levels of progesterone in their bodies should be cautious. Based on the test results, doctors often advise pregnant women to take good care of themselves and avoid excessive walking. However, some pregnant women do not take this seriously. So, is it necessary for women with low progesterone to take rest during pregnancy?
1. When it is confirmed during early pregnancy that progesterone is low during prenatal check ups, it is necessary to rest quietly, as insufficient progesterone secretion in the body during early pregnancy can easily lead to threatened miscarriage. Whether progesterone secretion is normal in early pregnancy is important for ensuring the health of early pregnancy. If a pregnant woman has low progesterone, she often cannot resist the contraction of uterine smooth muscle, which can also lead to unstable binding between the gestational sac and endometrium, resulting in miscarriage, and can also lead to fetal arrest.
2. Women with low progesterone levels in early pregnancy may experience excessive walking or activity, as well as changes in abdominal pressure due to overwork or constipation. These adverse factors can lead to early pregnancy miscarriage or threatened miscarriage. Therefore, women with insufficient progesterone secretion in early pregnancy should pay attention to bed rest and avoid fatigue and excessive activity.
3. For early pregnancy women with severe low progesterone levels, it is necessary to seek medical guidance through oral administration or injection of progesterone boosting drugs to maintain pregnancy. Usually, it is necessary to arrange a 3-7 day treatment course initially, and then go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if the progesterone in the body has returned to normal levels
