The pregnant woman with low located placenta during quite long time can not suspect about the diagnosis at all. Exactly until does not face more or less severe bleeding in one pekrasny afternoon. If at the same time medical care is not provided to it, business can quite end with loss of the child.
It is a little statistics
The placenta which problem includes supply of not been born child with all necessary substances can be located both on back, and on a front wall of a uterus, and both of these options are considered as manifestation of norm. Unless in the second case future mom the little will begin to feel stirs of the kid later. But sometimes it happens so that attachment happens in the lower part of the growing uterus and then the situation becomes potentially dangerous. Statistically, such anomaly of attachment of a placenta meets at 3-6 of 1000 pregnant women.
There are 4 forms of presentation of a placenta. It can low lie, but at the same time: 1. Not to touch an internal pharynx of a neck of the uterus at all.
2. To slightly touch a pharynx with bottom edge. 3. To partially block a pharynx.4. To close itself a pharynx completely.
In the first two cases at careful conducting childbirth perhaps rodorazresheny in the natural way, in two last to be born the kid can be helped by only Cesarean section.
Establishment of the diagnosis
The gynecologist can define threat of possible low presentation of a placenta already at the very beginning of pregnancy by ultrasonography. On the screen all cavity of a uterus and the place where egg was attached will be visible to it. But even if this place is located not really highly, you should not panic. The situation quite still can change. And only if presentation continues to be defined also after the 19th week of pregnancy, the diagnosis will be made finally.
The growing child, stretching uterus walls, can quite move a placenta to be moved up.
Bleeding
But sometimes presentation of a placenta remains unnoticed until at the pregnant woman the bleeding which feature is its absolute painlessness does not begin. Even if the amount of blood is estimated in several drops, it is all the same necessary to see immediately a doctor for the help that that could establish the reason of this phenomenon.
Smoking is considered one of the reasons capable to provoke presentation of a placenta.
Treatment of low arrangement of a placenta
The uniform scheme of treatment of presentation of a placenta does not exist. Everything depends on existence and intensity of bleeding, extent of presentation and term of pregnancy. If the diagnosis was established till 19th week and is not followed by bleeding, more sparing way of life including refusal of a raising of weights and avoiding of a stress will be simply recommended to the woman. The bed rest can be as a last resort registered. Severe bleeding in the second half of pregnancy usually is a symptom of the begun peeling of a placenta provoked by low presentation and can become the indication to the end of pregnancy. Fortunately, by this time often the fruit already is quite viable and can be given rise by Cesarean section.
