When a pregnant woman is found to have the lower edge of the placenta covering the endocervical opening, there is a chance that it will automatically become normal if the gestational week is small, but it will not become normal if the gestational week is large.
When a pregnant woman is diagnosed with a placenta with its lower edge covering the opening of the cervix, there is usually no need to be overly concerned if the gestational week is less than 28 weeks because the placenta is likely to grow up slowly as the uterus enlarges, and the alarm is lifted when the placenta no longer covers the opening of the cervix.
However, if the lower edge of the placenta still covers the opening of the cervix when the gestational week is greater than 28 weeks, or if the lower edge of the placenta is newly found to cover the opening of the cervix, the placenta can be diagnosed as placenta praevia at this time, and the pregnant woman becomes a high-risk pregnancy, which will not become normal.
Pregnant women with placenta praevia have a higher probability of hemorrhage and preterm delivery, and need to follow the doctor’s advice and have a cesarean section as early as possible.
Pregnant women who find themselves in a situation where the lower edge of the placenta is covering the opening of the cervix should seek medical attention to ensure the safety of themselves and their fetus.
