Patient's question:
Is it possible to carry a complete placenta previa to full term?Doctor's answer:
Hello, partial placenta previa itself can lead to premature birth, or placental abruption can easily cause heavy bleeding. If you are already at 36+4 weeks and experiencing bleeding, it's best not to wait until 40 weeks to give birth. In fact, after 37 weeks, the baby is considered full-term, and delivery can occur at any time. However, if you are a first-time mother and the placental function is not mature, it is better to wait until after 38 weeks for the baby's health. It is recommended to stay in bed absolutely, avoid sexual activity, and refrain from movement, and try to wait until after 38 weeks to deliver. However, it is important to follow the doctor's advice. If the bleeding increases or labor contractions start, be prepared to give birth at any time.
