The smooth birth of a fetus is actually the result of many factors working together. If the placenta position of the fetus is abnormal, pregnant women need to pay attention to many things. So, what should be noted for 29 week placenta previa?
Pregnant women with placenta previa at 29 weeks of pregnancy are advised to rest in bed, reduce physical activity, and avoid doing strenuous physical work during pregnancy. The so-called placenta previa refers to the placenta being located in the lower part of the uterus, even if it has already touched or covered the cervix, and the placenta is positioned lower than the exposed part of the fetus. Pregnant women with placenta previa are prone to vaginal bleeding, so it is recommended to rest in bed more often.
When a pregnant woman with placenta previa at 29 weeks of gestation shows that the fetal weight is less than 5 pounds, vaginal bleeding is not severe, the pregnant woman's physical condition is good, and the fetus is also surviving well, expectant therapy can be used. While lying in bed, pregnant women may need to use sedatives in combination with inhibiting uterine contractions. If the pregnant woman has anemia, it should also be corrected, and fetal lung maturation should be promoted.
If a pregnant woman experiences severe vaginal bleeding or even bleeding shock, she may need to consider artificial termination of pregnancy. Placenta previa is more common in older mothers, and if not handled properly, the safety of both the mother and the fetus can be affected. If a pregnant woman is able to successfully conceive until delivery, in most cases, she will resort to cesarean section to give birth to the baby.
