The fetus can move around in the pregnant woman's belly, so the position of the fetus will constantly change. Among them, the fetal arm position is quite common. If this situation is detected early, it can be corrected appropriately through sleeping posture. So, how should pregnant women with fetal hip position sleep?
Pregnant women with fetal arm position can sleep on their side. When sleeping or resting, lying on their side can correct the fetal position. Pregnant women can lie on their left or right side. Pregnant women can use ultrasound examination to determine the orientation of the fetus's back, and they should also pay more attention to fetal movement in their daily lives. If the majority of fetal movement felt by pregnant women comes from the right side, then the back orientation of the fetus may be on the left side.
When the abdominal wall of a pregnant woman is relaxed, there is excessive amniotic fluid, or the fetus is small, the range of fetal movement in the uterine cavity will increase, causing the fetus to be overly free and resulting in changes in fetal position, leading to arm position. If the internal space of the cervix in pregnant women is small and the range of fetal movement is effective, the fetal head cannot naturally turn downwards, which can also cause fetal arm position.
There are many reasons that can cause fetal arm position. Regardless of the reason, when the fetal arm position is discovered, pregnant women should correct it in a timely manner. When the pregnancy is not yet very old, adjusting the sleeping position can help correct the fetal position. However, if it is late in pregnancy and the fetus develops, it is difficult to correct the fetal position through sleeping position.
