Every expectant mother is looking forward to the arrival of their baby. During pregnancy, expectant mothers work very hard, some may vomit, some may feel tired, and some may even experience placenta previa or pregnancy, with particularly severe reactions. So many expectant mothers know that placenta previa and pregnancy are the same? What is placenta previa? What should I do if placenta previa is really detected? Let me introduce them one by one.
What is the difference between placenta previa and pregnancy
Lower pregnancy is when the baby is positioned lower, while lower pregnancy is when the placenta is located closer to the cervix, usually above 7cm. If it is below 7cm, it is considered lower pregnancy. Lower pregnancy can easily cause bleeding in the late stage, and the two are not the same concept.
What is placenta previa
1. Diseases such as uterine fibroids. The older a woman gets, the greater the likelihood of developing gynecological diseases. Women's gynecological diseases usually involve problems with the uterus. When there is inflammation or fibroids in the uterus, it can cause symptoms of placenta previa during pregnancy in women.
2. Excessive production frequency. The number of pregnancies in women can also affect the phenomenon of placenta previa. Some women may experience miscarriage during pregnancy for various reasons. Every miscarriage is also a trauma to a woman's body, especially causing greater damage to her uterus.
What should I do if the placenta is lowered
1. Be careful of daily safety
Stay at home and rest in bed to avoid overwork. When changing positions, do not exert too much force, including during bowel movements. Eat more fruits and drink more water to avoid constipation.
2. Be careful with exercise methods
It is necessary to avoid some intense exercises such as running, jumping, etc., and some movements are absolutely not suitable to do, such as squatting, kneeling, and standing up slowly. Because pregnant mothers with a low placenta, if not careful, can cause the cervix to enlarge, and the placenta located lower down can also be stretched, leading to detachment and bleeding.
3. Be cautious of sexual activity
Intense sexual activity and prostaglandins in semen can stimulate strong uterine contractions, which can be dangerous for placenta previa and very detrimental to both the mother and the fetus.
4. Be careful of bleeding
Multiple bleeding during pregnancy can cause anemia and acute massive bleeding in expectant mothers, which can lead to shock and excessive blood loss, resulting in fetal hypoxia and distress. In severe cases, fetal death may occur in the uterus.
5. Be careful when choosing the method of delivery
It is necessary to regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check ups, and to be hospitalized in a timely manner when delivery is approaching. Based on the physical condition at that time and the doctor's opinion, choose a suitable delivery method for oneself.
The above is the information about placenta previa and pregnancy that the editor has introduced to expectant mothers. If expectant mothers encounter placenta previa, the editor suggests that they should not worry too much, because as the gestational age increases, the position of the placenta will rise, that is, the placenta is not in a low-lying state. Therefore, maintaining a happy mood can actually benefit the baby.
