Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I prevent placenta previa?Doctor's answer:
1. Avoid lifting heavy objects: During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, pay close attention to daily details and avoid lifting heavy objects or straining the abdomen to prevent accidents.2. Temporarily stop sexual activity if necessary: If there are bleeding symptoms or if you are in the later stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided. Additionally, women with mild placenta previa should also avoid overly intense sexual activity or actions that put pressure on the abdomen.
3. Seek medical attention immediately if bleeding occurs: If bleeding symptoms appear, regardless of the amount of blood, seek medical attention immediately. If you encounter a new prenatal care doctor, be sure to inform them about the issue of placenta previa.
4. Avoid excessive fatigue: Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies should rest more and avoid excessive fatigue that could affect the smooth progress of pregnancy and childbirth.
5. Pay attention to fetal movement: Monitor fetal movement daily to ensure it is normal. If you notice a significant decrease in fetal movement, seek medical attention promptly for examination.
6. Choose an appropriate prenatal care hospital: If you have third or fourth-degree placenta previa, it is best to choose a large hospital or medical center for prenatal care. This ensures that if premature labor, heavy bleeding, or other issues arise, they can be addressed immediately.
