Does placenta previa affect the fetus

  Placenta previa is generally more likely to occur in pregnant women after 28 weeks of pregnancy, which means that the position of the placenta is lower than that of the fetus, and the placenta attaches to the lower part of the uterus. If placenta previa is severe, it may also cover the cervical opening, and in this case, vaginal delivery is not possible. So, does placenta previa have any impact on the fetus?

  If pregnant women have the problem of placenta previa, it will have a certain impact on the development of the fetus, because pregnant women with placenta previa are prone to bleeding in the late stages of pregnancy, which can easily lead to miscarriage. In addition, when pregnant women experience heavy bleeding, the fetus may lack oxygen. If the fetus cannot be immediately removed, it is prone to suffocation and death.

  Pregnant women with placenta previa are prone to premature birth. Pregnant women need to constantly monitor the condition of their babies and check their fetal heart rate and movement every day. If there are any problems, they need to seek medical attention immediately for examination and treatment. If there is frequent fetal movement or if the fetus is in danger, immediate cesarean section is required to remove the fetus.

  Overall, placenta previa is harmful to the fetus and pregnant women need to pay special attention. Pregnant women with placenta previa should be careful not to sit on chairs that are too low, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid strenuous exercise. In the later stages of pregnancy, if there is a problem with placenta previa, it is necessary to rest in bed, avoid walking around, and constantly monitor the health of the fetus.
