In the later stages of pregnancy, the frequency of prenatal check ups increases, and doctors use B-ultrasound images to observe the position of the fetus and grasp its movements. Many pregnant women often suffer from fetal misalignment during this period, and hospital doctors generally recommend doing more kneeling positions to help the fetus position itself correctly. So how to kneel in the late stage of pregnancy when the fetal position is not correct?
Before learning how to kneel, first understand what fetal misalignment is. Only by understanding the principles behind it can one flexibly perform some kneeling postures. In the late stages of pregnancy, the various indicators and bodily functions of the fetus in the belly have matured and become very active. They treat their mother's belly as a playground and roll around freely. In addition, factors such as the mother's smaller pelvic bone, shorter umbilical cord, and relaxed abdominal muscles can all lead to fetal misalignment. The normal fetal position is that the child's head is facing downwards and feet are facing upwards, only in this way can the basic conditions for vaginal delivery be achieved.
The commonly mentioned kneeling down to correct fetal position is actually knee chest horizontal, and the steps are very simple. If there is a yoga mat at home, you can exercise on it, and the same effect can be achieved even if not directly on the bed. Kneel slowly on the bed, then bend down and bring your chest closer to the position of the bed. Raise your hips slightly and maintain this position for about three minutes. When doing it for the first time, the body may become stiff and there may be a slight discomfort in the abdomen, but it will gradually adapt.
When exercising, it is important to be careful not to compress the abdomen. If exercise cannot be achieved due to physical reasons, it is necessary to inform the doctor in a timely manner and adjust the correction plan.
