The placenta, the small boat that carries the life of the fetus, can easily capsize if not careful. In order to prevent the small boat from carrying hope, protecting the placenta during pregnancy is also an important task in obstetrics. Pregnant women diagnosed with placenta previa are usually very worried, so is it important to have placenta previa at 11 weeks of pregnancy?
At 11 weeks of pregnancy or in early or mid pregnancy, if the placenta is found to be in a low position, dynamic observation is required. The discovery of placenta previa in mid pregnancy is called placenta previa status, because the position of the placenta is not fixed in early to mid pregnancy, and the relationship between the edge of the placenta and the cervical opening changes with different stages of pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the formation of the lower segment of the uterus increases the distance between the cervical opening and the edge of the placenta. The placenta, which was originally attached to the lower segment of the uterus, can move up with the uterus and change to a normal position. The placenta, which completely covers the cervical opening, becomes a low-lying placenta as the uterus moves up. The risk of placenta previa increases in late pregnancy for those with low placental position detected in early to mid pregnancy, and requires dynamic observation.
So the earlier placenta previa is detected, the more beneficial it is for nurturing the fetus. However, pregnant mothers do not need to be too anxious. Most people have placenta previa, and as long as it is not particularly serious, they can protect the growth of the fetus through observation and bed rest. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed diagnosis and proof, clarify the position of the placenta, and prevent accidents from happening.
