Usually, the fetal position remains unchanged for a few weeks

  The fetus is constantly changing in the uterus, so its position is different. Before labor, if there is a problem of fetal misalignment, it should be corrected in a timely manner to avoid causing too much impact on delivery. If the fetal position is fixed, it is difficult to correct the position of the fetus, and the change is not significant, then the fetal position usually remains unchanged for a few weeks?

  

Usually, the fetal position remains unchanged for a few weeks1

  Generally, the fetal position remains unchanged after 32 weeks. Before 32 weeks, the fetus has not yet developed significantly and there is more amniotic fluid in the uterus. At this time, the fetus has more room for movement, so its position often changes. Sometimes it appears in the lower right corner of the uterus, and sometimes it runs to other places. If fetal malposition occurs before 28 weeks, pregnant women need not worry too much, as the fetus may return to its normal position on its own.

  If the fetal position is found to be incorrect during prenatal examination, pregnant women can correct it under the guidance of a doctor, such as doing knee chest exercises. After persisting for a period of time, they can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. After the fetal position is fixed, there will not be much change. Pregnant women should pay attention to monitoring the fetal heart rate to understand whether the fetus is healthy. If the fetal heart rate is too fast or too slow, it needs to be taken seriously to avoid unexpected situations in the fetus.

  At 36 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is basically mature and the space in the uterus is limited. If the fetal position is still not correct, it is difficult to correct it. To avoid adverse effects on oneself and the fetus, it is best for pregnant women to choose cesarean section for delivery.
