When female friends are pregnant, almost all want to have a vaginal delivery, but whether they can have a vaginal delivery depends on the condition of the pregnant woman and the fetus. If the fetus is too large, the pregnant woman's birth canal is narrow, and the fetal position is not correct, it is difficult to have a vaginal delivery. In this case, a cesarean section is usually performed. So, is the sail shaped placenta a sign of cesarean section?
The sail shaped placenta is not an absolute indication of cesarean section, and it depends on the specific situation to determine whether to have a cesarean section. However, the sail shaped placenta is prone to merging with the anterior blood vessels, and in this case, a cesarean section must be performed. Moreover, the surgery time needs to be advanced, and the cesarean section cannot be performed at 39 weeks of pregnancy.
When the sail shaped placenta merges with the anterior blood vessel, a cesarean section should be performed before 37 weeks of pregnancy to remove the fetus, in order to maximize the safety of the fetus and pregnant woman. Some gynecological experts even believe that a cesarean section should be performed around 34 weeks of pregnancy.
The sail shaped placenta poses a great potential danger to the fetus after triggering the anterior blood vessels. After a woman's rupture during labor, the anterior blood vessels can cause the blood vessels covering the cervical opening to rupture, which can easily lead to rapid blood loss and death of the fetus. Even if there is no rupture, the anterior blood vessels are easily compressed by the exposed part of the fetus during delivery, causing circulatory obstruction and fetal distress, which may lead to fetal death.
