Women in the late stages of pregnancy must undergo a comprehensive examination, including relevant examinations of the cervix and pelvis. To determine whether a pregnant woman can give birth through vaginal delivery, it is necessary to check if the distance between the placenta and the cervix is normal. Can a 4cm distance between the placenta and the cervix be used for vaginal delivery?
In the late stages of pregnancy, a normal pregnant woman needs to have a distance of more than 7cm between the lower edge of the placenta and the cervical opening. If it is smaller than this size, it is considered a case of placenta previa. In this case, pregnant women are prone to accidents during the delivery process.
Moreover, it is prone to the phenomenon of fetal head floating and fetal misalignment, which greatly increases the rate of difficult labor and can lead to heavy bleeding during the delivery process, directly affecting the life and health of pregnant women.
For pregnant women in this situation, whether they can give birth naturally depends on their specific condition. If there are no symptoms or pain or bleeding, they can try giving birth naturally. However, if there are abnormal symptoms such as bleeding, timely delivery through cesarean section is necessary.
In the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women with placenta previa should take good care of their bodies, avoid standing for long periods of time, and avoid moving heavy objects. They should strictly rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. If vaginal bleeding occurs, they should go to the hospital immediately.
