YOGYAKARTA - One of the problems that occur in pregnancy is the location of the placenta below covering the birth canal. So what are the characteristics of the placenta covering the birth canal?
Some pregnant women are at risk of developing a previa placenta or a placenta condition below covering the birth canal in the last months of pregnancy. This condition will cause blockages to the whole or part of the cervix that prevents the baby from entering the pelvis.
Reporting from the Cleveland Clinic, the placenta develops in the uterus during the pregnancy process. The placenta is a bag-like organ that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the fetus through the central rope.
In general, this condition occurs below the uterus at the beginning of pregnancy. In the third trimester (Sunday 28 to 40 gestation), naturally the placenta must move to the top of the uterus.
This happens so that the baby has a clear path to the vagina to give birth. If you experience a previa placenta, the placenta does not move to the top of the uterus.
This condition resulted in the placenta blocking the baby's exit from the vagina.
Before we discuss the characteristics of the placenta below covering the birth canal, we should first understand the types of previa placesntas. There are three types of previa placentas, including:
The placenta is located below, on the edge of the cervicals. It touches the cervix but does not cover the birth canal. This type of previa placenta is more likely to recover naturally before the due date of your baby's birth.
This type of one makes the placenta below cover some of the birth canals. So it doesn't close all the cervicals.
This type of placenta is below covering the overall birth canal, blocking your vagina. This type of previa placenta is less likely to improve itself.
Each type of previa placenta can be at risk of causing vaginal bleeding during pregnancy and childbirth. Because there will be a high risk of bleeding, most people need caesarean delivery.
One of the characteristics of the placenta covering the birth canal as a whole or the total previa placenta is bleeding. You may have bleeding when you were pregnant even though you had not yet entered birth time.
Bright red blood can come out of the vagina. Bleeding often begins before the second half of pregnancy.
Bleeding can also occur then stop, and start again a few days later. The amount of vaginal bleeding can vary and is often accompanied by no pain.
The previa placenta can cause bleeding because as pregnancy continues in the third trimester, cervicals run low and spread to prepare for birth. If the placenta touches or covers the cervix, this depletion will result in bleeding.
If you often experience cramps, especially at the end of pregnancy, one of the causes can be due to the previa placenta. You should worry if you are at risk of experiencing a previa placenta or placenta below closing the birth canal due to several factors below:
The characteristics of the placenta below covering the birth canal do not always cause bleeding. One of them is that they often experience back pain or pelvis.
If you have several factors that increase the chance of a placenta for previa, you should discuss bleeding or pelvic pain experienced by a doctor.

It could be that you often experience mild contractions in the stomach. Whether it's a fake contraction or it does appear because of the previa placenta.
Immediately contact the doctor if you suspect you have a placenta previa. This can be diagnosed through ultrasound examination.
