Patient's question:
At 13 weeks pregnant, how far should the placenta be from the cervix for it to be normal? My ultrasound report states that the lower edge of the placenta is >30mm away from the internal cervical os. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal for the placenta to be more than 7 cm away from the cervix. These tests are not reliable for determining this; it depends on the prenatal examination. Please wait and see. If you are still worried, you can have regular check-ups. Pay attention to your nutrition during this time and try not to overthink things to avoid putting unnecessary stress on yourself, which could affect the fetus. I suggest you maintain a regular lifestyle during this period, avoid worrying and being anxious, and keep your emotions stable, which is beneficial for the fetus. Pay attention to hygiene, and you can use warm water to clean your private area every night to avoid bacteria. You should definitely eat less raw, cold, and foods.
