What should I do if I have a low-lying placenta and my stomach hurts?

The placenta is low and abdominal pain is actually a painful symptom caused by the low placenta. In addition, it may also cause bleeding during pregnancy. Sometimes, if the bleeding is severe, shock and fainting may occur, so attention must be paid to treatment.

1. Low-lying placenta is a common form of abnormal pregnancy. Low-lying placenta can cause bleeding in late pregnancy. Low-lying placenta can be said to be the most serious complication in late pregnancy. If the low-lying placenta is not handled properly, it will not only affect the healthy growth of the fetus, but also the life of the mother and child. When the placenta is low, as the pregnancy progresses, especially in the late pregnancy or after delivery, the lower segment of the uterus gradually stretches, the cervical canal disappears, and the cervical opening expands, but the placenta does not develop with the expansion of the cervical opening. As a result, it will detach from its attachment point, and blood vessels will rupture and there will be vaginal bleeding.

2. When the amount of bleeding is large, the pregnant mother will suffer from anemia; when the bleeding is severe, shock and fainting may occur, and the baby in the belly may suffer from lack of oxygen, respiratory distress, or even death. Although this bleeding depends on the type of placenta previa, the chance of heavy, recurrent early bleeding is relatively low in low-lying placentas. However, during labor, each uterine contraction will pull the lower segment of the uterus upward, often causing increased bleeding and resulting in serious consequences. However, the incidence of low-lying placenta is not high, so expectant mothers do not need to have too much psychological pressure.
