The normal fetal position should be the head position, which is more conducive to vaginal delivery. During pregnancy, pregnant women will pay more attention to the fetal position. Only when the fetal position is correct, pregnant women will feel at ease. However, is the fetal position always correct from the beginning?
At the beginning, the fetal position is not always correct. Before the fetus enters the womb, the fetal position may change at any time. After the fetus enters the womb, its movement is restricted, so the fetal position will not change much. The fetus can move freely in the uterus. When pregnant women sleep, they should try to lie on their left and right sides and pay more attention to the movement of the fetus in the uterus. Other examinations should be done regularly.
If the fetal position is transverse or breech, it is considered an abnormal fetal position. If it is a normal fetal position, the fetal head will face downwards and the buttocks will face upwards. Once an abnormal fetal position occurs, pregnant women should take timely measures to improve it, such as correcting it by moxibustion acupuncture points or doing knee chest exercises. Pregnant women should persist in doing it to achieve results. After correcting it for a period of time, they should also go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
If the fetal position has not returned to normal during the labor period, pregnant women should not undergo vaginal delivery. If forced vaginal delivery is necessary, difficult labor may occur, which can pose a threat to the life of the fetus. Therefore, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and adopt cesarean section for delivery to ensure the safety of both the mother and the fetus.
