What to do about placenta previa at 28 weeks

Placenta previa at 28 weeks is also known as placenta praevia. When diagnosed with placenta praevia, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, and the common treatments for this disease include expectant treatment and blood transfusion treatment, etc., which should be in accordance with the doctor’s instructions. For pregnant women with less than 36 weeks of gestation, good general condition, fetal survival, low vaginal bleeding and no need for emergency delivery, expectant treatment is usually exercised, which can prolong the duration of pregnancy and improve the survival rate of the fetus under the premise of ensuring the safety of the mother and child. Those with anemia require iron supplementation or blood transfusion therapy, which can correct maternal anemia and improve intrauterine oxygen deprivation in the fetus. Patients should be aware that in the event of vaginal bleeding, hospitalization is required in order to monitor the condition of the mother and child. During hospitalization, the doctor may advise the pregnant woman to maintain absolute bed rest, lying on her left side, with appropriate activity after the bleeding stops. Sexual intercourse, anal examinations, vaginal examinations, enemas, and any other stimuli are prohibited, and a good mood is maintained. It is suggested that patients with placenta praevia should maintain good living habits and psychological state in daily life, which plays an important role in the treatment of placenta praevia, and need to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
