Hello doctor,

I am 5 months pregnant. I had an ultrasound scan today and my placenta is "anterior, 2.7cm above the internal O.S". Since a week, I have also developed piles which has subsided a little bit now. I travel to work by bus and sometimes by a 4 wheeler auto. My weight has been 55 kg since 5 months but the baby's growth is normal as per the scan. My doctor has given me progesterone tablets as of now and also an ointment for piles. I wish to know if I can continue working.

Will travelling be dangerous for my baby?

My due date is on November 30th. Will I be able to work till October 30th or should I stop working now?

Is there any particular food pattern that I should follow because I have developed piles?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read and understood your problem.

  • In your ultrasound scan placenta is anterior, 2.7cm above the internal O.S. Well this is in low lying placenta at present and may move upwards as pregnancy advances.
  • For weight gain you should increase food intake, and take more liquids to keep the stool soft.
  • Since you travel by road, take precautions that you do not get much jerks, hold on to your seat to restrict sudden movements.
  • Working or travelling does not affect the baby.
  • You may continue to work if you do not develop any complications.
  • But stop travelling if you have any bleeding or water leak.
  • Whether you will be able to work till October 30th depends on how every thing goes well.

Best wishes for healthy pregnancy.

Thank you doctor,

  • I have frequent sneezing. Did the placenta come down due to sneezing?
  • What else is the reason for this situation? Can anything be done to bring it upwards?
  • What kind of food should I consume?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • Placenta does not come down with sneezing or any other load.
  • It is attached to the uterine wall and as the uterus increases in size, placenta's distance from internal os may increase.
  • There is no reason for this position. It is simple that it is attached at a lower position and nothing can be done to move it upwards.
  • Regarding food, I had already mentioned that you should take more liquids to keep the stool soft, as you have piles.
  • Avoid foods that in your experience cause constipation.
  • Food should be nutritious and should include fruits and vegetables.
  • Also you should take iron, folic acid, calcium as advised by doctor.
