What are the symptoms of a low-lying placenta?

Many pregnant women will encounter the phenomenon of low placenta during pregnancy, but this symptom cannot be ignored and must be solved correctly, because it can easily cause bleeding or increase the risk of miscarriage, so we must focus on improving and solving it.

1. 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. When a pregnant mother has a low-lying placenta, she should take appropriate self-care measures, but avoid all strenuous exercise, such as running, jumping, etc., and some actions are absolutely inappropriate. For example: squatting. Pregnant mothers already have a bulging abdomen, and their lower limbs are under great pressure, so it will be more difficult to squat.

2. If a pregnant mother with a low-lying placenta squats, the cervix will expand and the placenta located lower will be stretched, causing detachment and bleeding. Therefore, pregnant mothers with low-lying placenta should never squat. The reason for a low-lying placenta is usually that if the pregnant mother is of advanced age (over 35 years old), and has uterine malformations, fibroids, scars, etc., the chance of a low-lying placenta will increase. In addition, the chances of this happening are greatly increased for pregnant women who have given birth multiple times or have a history of low-lying placenta.

3. When the pregnant mother falls into one of the above situations, she should pay more attention. At the same time, because the placental detachment surface of a low-lying placenta is close to the external os of the cervix, bacteria can invade the placental detachment surface from the vagina. Coupled with postpartum anemia and weak physical condition, it is easy to get puerperal infection.

4. Moreover, the premature and perinatal mortality rates will also increase. Therefore, expectant mothers with low placenta should pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and do not exert too much force when changing body positions, including when defecating. Avoid constipation and sexual intercourse. Go to the hospital immediately if you notice bleeding.
