At around 16 weeks, the placenta should be low, pay attention to rest, prohibit coitus, and follow the doctor’s advice to review on time.
When the ultrasound examination at 16 weeks of pregnancy indicates that the placenta is in a low position, it is necessary to pay attention to rest, appropriately reduce the activities and prohibit coitus as instructed by the doctor. As the weeks of pregnancy increase, the placenta attached to the lower part of the uterus will move up with the uterus and become a normal position of the placenta, so you can follow the doctor’s advice about 2 weeks and then review the ultrasound to understand the situation of the placenta.
If the ultrasound examination after 28 weeks of gestation still suggests that the placenta is in a low position, it can be diagnosed as placenta praevia and increase the risk of prenatal bleeding, so it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to strengthen the management of pregnancy and closely monitor the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement changes.
Those who have vaginal bleeding should go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions to prevent infection and terminate the pregnancy according to the condition of the mother and fetus.
If the placenta is low at around 16 weeks, the patient should go to the hospital in time and follow up with dynamic observation under the doctor’s guidance.
