The fetal position has great knowledge and attention to detail. The fetus is constantly moving and changing in the female belly, so there are many types of fetal positions. Generally, the fetal position will be relatively stable around 28 weeks of pregnancy. However, many women do not have a deep understanding of fetal position. So, what does fetal position mean?
The meaning of fetal position loa is the situation where the back of the fetus is forward and the chest is backward, and the fetus's hands are crossed on the chest X-ray, while the legs are in a coiled state. This is a relatively normal fetal position, and loa is actually an abbreviation for fetal position.
Fetal position refers to the position and posture of the fetus in the female uterus, usually in the anterior, posterior, left, and right positions of the mother's pelvic bone. Normal fetuses are mostly in the anterior occipital position, while arm position, posterior occipital position, transverse position, etc. are all abnormal fetal positions, which can easily cause difficulties for women during childbirth, and therefore have a certain impact on the choice of delivery method.
Fetal position loa is more suitable for women's vaginal delivery, but it also needs to be judged based on the condition of the fetal umbilical cord and amniotic fluid. If the amniotic fluid is sufficient and the umbilical cord has not wrapped around the neck, then it can be suitable for vaginal delivery. It is also important to note that the fetus should not be too large, otherwise it will increase the burden of childbirth for women.
