What is the correct sleeping position for pregnant women with low placenta?

What is the correct sleeping position for pregnant women with low placenta? If a low placenta is found during pregnancy examination, pregnant women must pay attention to it. A low placenta can easily cause miscarriage. At this time, pregnant women must listen to the doctor's instructions and sleep mainly on the left side. In daily life, you should also try not to squat or do overly strenuous exercise. If bleeding occurs, seek medical treatment promptly.

1. How to sleep with low-lying placenta

Choose the right sleeping position: Lying on the left side

Women should also follow their doctor's advice to help:

1. Breathe oxygen.

Three times a day, each time for one hour, can better treat placenta previa and prevent a series of hazards.

2. Keep indoor air circulating:

Ensure fresh air. Open windows for ventilation three times a day, each time for 30 minutes.

3. Assist with washing:

For example, help the patient wash his face, hands, feet, and brush his teeth, use 0.1% Chlorhexidine to wipe the perineum twice a day, keep the bed unit clean, dry, flat, and comfortable, and wash the hair and take a bath in bed when necessary.

4. Daily care:

While the patient is bedridden, provide a toilet, empty excrement, and provide perineal care after urination and defecation. Assist with dressing and grooming.

What is a low lying placenta?

A low-lying placenta is a type of placenta previa, which can be divided into three types: complete placenta previa, partial placenta previa, and low-lying placenta.

2. Benefits of correct sleeping posture for pregnant women

1. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure of the enlarged uterus on the pregnant woman's aorta and iliac artery, ensure the blood supply to the placenta, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the inferior vena cava, and increase the blood flow returning to the heart. The increase in blood flow can, on the one hand, increase blood flow to the kidneys and urine volume; on the other hand, it can improve the blood supply to the brain tissue.

2. Lying on the left side can also increase the blood flow to the placenta, thus improving the fetal intrauterine oxygen supply, reducing the birth of low-weight babies and lowering the perinatal mortality rate. Especially when the fetus is growth-retarded, lying on the left side can improve the treatment effect.

3. After pregnancy, the uterus will rotate slightly to the right. Lying on the left side can improve the degree of right rotation of the uterus, reduce the tension on the uterine blood vessels, and restore the diameter of the blood vessels, thereby ensuring blood flow to the placenta.

The correct sleeping position for a low-lying placenta is lying on the left side. It is dangerous when the placenta is too low. You should follow the doctor's advice on sleeping, and control your exercise and diet. Avoiding miscarriage due to improper protection of the body is extremely harmful to pregnant women. At present, low-lying placenta is mostly hereditary, and once this phenomenon occurs, this problem will occur in subsequent pregnancies. You should take it seriously when you become pregnant again and start treatment to preserve the fetus as soon as possible.

Low-lying placenta is a symptom that expectant mothers may experience during pregnancy. This symptom does not occur frequently. Expectant mothers don’t need to worry too much about the baby’s safety when they encounter this symptom. The most important thing is to adjust your mindset, and you can make adjustments when the fetal position is abnormal. I believe this symptom can be adjusted. I hope that pregnant mothers can restore their health through their own efforts with the help of doctors.
