Remedies for premature placenta

The fetus is initially formed by the combination of sperm and egg, and the fertilized egg settles in the woman's uterus. The fertilized egg then gradually forms the placenta through slow division and development. This process requires a certain period of time. If it is too early or too late, it will affect the fetus. Some pregnant women may cause premature placenta due to improper care, which is extremely harmful to the child. So what is the remedy for premature placenta?

1. What to do if the placenta is premature

Premature placenta will affect the nutrition and oxygen supply of the fetus, that is, it will affect the growth and development of the fetus. It is generally related to high blood pressure, diabetes and excessive calcium absorption. It is recommended to stop taking calcium tablets immediately and closely observe the development of the fetus. If the fetal movement and fetal heart rate are abnormal, seek medical attention immediately. If necessary, the pregnancy can be terminated early and a cesarean section can be performed.

2. Misconceptions about premature placenta:

1. Precocious placenta is caused by excessive calcium supplementation

Doctor's correction: Many pregnant women believe that excessive calcium supplementation during pregnancy is the main cause of premature placental maturity. In fact, if pregnant women suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases during pregnancy, it may also cause premature placental maturity. Therefore, when taking countermeasures, you should first go to the hospital for a detailed examination, determine the cause, and then take appropriate measures.

2. Premature placenta requires early termination of pregnancy

Doctor's correction: After the diagnosis is confirmed, expectant mothers are often very nervous and think that terminating the pregnancy early would be better for the fetus. But in fact, this requires a comprehensive judgment. If the doctor finds that the fetus's development in all aspects is normal, there is no need to terminate the pregnancy early.

3. Nutrient water must be transfused for premature placenta

Doctor's correction: Nutrient water is a medicine that contains energy substances such as amino acids and can increase nutrition. But not every pregnant woman needs to receive nutritional water, because nutritional water is only needed when the delivery date is approaching and the fetus is too small.

3. The harm of premature placenta

Precocious placenta can cause a decrease in the fetus's ability to exchange and transport nutrients, insufficient fetal blood perfusion, and cause fetal ischemia and hypoxia. In case of mild placental aging, the fetus may not show any symptoms when there is no stress. However, after delivery, the fetus cannot adapt well to the tremendous pressure caused by uterine contraction, and soon shows signs of hypoxia such as abnormal fetal heart rate, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and decreased fetal blood pH. In severe cases, it can cause neonatal suffocation and death. In case of severe placental aging, the fetus will experience symptoms of hypoxia before delivery.
