Introduction
An early pregnancy located in the middle to lower segment of the uterine cavity is generally concerning. Normally, the embryo should implant in the fundus or upper part of the uterine cavity. Implantation in the middle to lower segment is particularly unfavorable due to the limited space, which can impair embryonic development. Especially when detected during early pregnancy, this condition may lead to poor embryonic growth and increase the risk of miscarriage.

Early pregnancy with embryo implanted in the middle to lower segment of the uterine cavity is generally concerning.

Under normal circumstances, the embryo should implant at the uterine fundus or upper portion of the uterine cavity. Implantation in the middle to lower segment is particularly unfavorable due to the limited space, which can severely impair embryonic development. Especially when early pregnancy is detected in this location, it may lead to poor embryonic development and increase the risk of miscarriage. As the placenta and fetus grow, this condition may further develop into a low-lying placenta or even placenta previa, causing bleeding in late pregnancy, preventing vaginal delivery, and necessitating cesarean section. Therefore, if early pregnancy is found in the middle to lower uterine segment, regular prenatal checkups at the hospital are essential, and any physical discomfort should be promptly evaluated by a doctor.

During early pregnancy, it's important to get plenty of bed rest, avoid excessive physical activity, and consume a diet rich in high-protein foods.
