Patient's question:
I am 14 weeks pregnant. Last time I had a thorough check-up, the NT was normal, but the placenta was slightly low. They said it would gradually grow higher. Then I asked the doctor if a low-lying placenta is very serious. The doctor said it's not very serious. But recently, I heard from a friend that a low-lying placenta might lead to premature birth. Currently, I don't have any discomfort, except that I've been drinking lemon water every day. Would it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
You last had a detailed ultrasound check when you were about 12 weeks pregnant. At that time, the placenta was low-lying, but there is no need to worry about it. As your pregnancy progresses, the placenta will gradually move to its normal position. You should try to minimize physical activity and avoid strenuous exercise. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. Have another detailed ultrasound check at 20 weeks.The above advice is for the question "Is it a problem if the placenta is slightly low at 14 weeks of pregnancy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
