For many expectant mothers, they want to have a natural birth, as it is a better delivery method for both the mother and the fetus. However, the fetal position of many expectant mothers is not very good, which can affect the natural birth, especially in the late stage of pregnancy. Many expectant mothers want to adjust the fetal position. So, how to adjust the fetal position in the late stage of pregnancy?
Generally speaking, it is difficult to adjust the fetal position in the late stage of pregnancy, which is after eight months of pregnancy. The fetal position is basically fixed around 32 weeks of pregnancy. If the fetal position is found to be incorrect, such as breech position, under the specific guidance of a doctor, it is necessary to correct the chest and knee position. A follow-up examination can be conducted 1-2 weeks after correction to determine if the fetal position is normal. If it is found that the fetal position is not correct after 32 weeks of pregnancy, it is recommended to go with the flow, because the gestational age is relatively large, and the fetal space in the uterus is small, so the fetal position generally does not change.
If fetal malposition is discovered around 7 and a half months ago, it can be corrected by lying in a knee chest position, provided that there is sufficient amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord does not wrap around the neck for more than three weeks. If the pregnancy exceeds 8 months, the significance of correcting fetal position at this time is not significant, it is best to let nature take its course.
If the vital signs of the fetus are checked and the fetal position is not correct, it will not affect the physical development of the fetus, but it will affect the normal vaginal delivery of pregnant women, which may lead to difficult delivery. At this time, it is recommended to perform a cesarean section for delivery. If the fetal position is not correct in early pregnancy, correction is not necessary. In mid pregnancy, correction can be done by lying in a knee chest position, but it must be accompanied by medical staff.
