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 deliver. In fact, after 37 weeks, the baby is considered full-term, and delivery can occur at any time. However, if it's your first pregnancy and the placenta is not yet mature, it's 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's important to follow your doctor's advice. If the bleeding increases or labor contractions start, be prepared to deliver at any time.
