Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy are very happy. Because I will be meeting the baby soon. But at this point, it is important to pay attention to the position of the fetus in the later stages of pregnancy. If the fetal position is incorrect, normal delivery may not be possible, which may lead to difficult labor or serious consequences. So, how to check the fetal position through ultrasound?
In early pregnancy, the fetus is very small and will rotate back and forth in the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, the fetal head should be at the bottom. If the fetal head is at the top, then the fetal position is incorrect. If the fetal position is incorrect and there is no umbilical cord force around, gymnastics can be done to correct the fetal position.
In addition to using ultrasound to see the position of the fetus during pregnancy, experienced obstetricians and gynecologists can also be consulted for examination. It is easy to determine whether the position of the fetus is correct. Especially in late pregnancy, doctors can touch the pregnant woman's abdomen with their hands to make accurate judgments. The advantage of this examination is that it is convenient and fast, and pregnant women do not need to prepare before the examination.
Pregnant women can also try to perform self examinations during pregnancy to preliminarily determine the position of the fetus. The uterus is elliptical in shape, and the longitudinal axis of the fetus is aligned with that of the mother. The round and hard fetal head can be touched at the bottom of the uterus, and there is a floating sensation when pressed. The irregularly soft and wide fetal buttocks can be touched above the pubic symphysis, and the fetal heart can be heard most clearly above the navel.
