Women need to undergo regular prenatal check ups after pregnancy, so that if any abnormalities are found in the body, the cause can be identified early and intervention can be carried out. There are also many items that need to be checked during the entire pregnancy, one of which is the examination of fetal position. If a pregnant woman is found to be in the head position during the examination, what does the fetal position mean?
The fetal position refers to a head position where the fetal head is below and the buttocks are above, with the longitudinal axis of the fetal body parallel to that of the mother. During childbirth, the head of the fetus comes out first, which is a normal fetal position, so pregnant women don't have to worry. If a pregnant woman is in mid pregnancy, the fetal head will be at the entrance of the pelvis, and the position of the head may change at any time, such as hip circumference or transverse position. The fetal position can change with fetal movement, and pregnant women should pay attention to regular prenatal check ups.
The fetal head position in mid pregnancy does not necessarily mean that it will also be in the head position during delivery. If the head circumference has already entered the pelvis in late pregnancy and the change in head position is relatively small, the position of the fetus at this time is the head position, which is conducive to natural delivery for pregnant women.
During pregnancy, women should pay attention to comprehensive body conditioning and also do a good prenatal examination. If the fetal position is found to be incorrect, there is no need to worry too much, and they can follow the doctor's guidance to adjust. If there is still an abnormal fetal position during the due date, a cesarean section can be used for delivery to ensure a smooth delivery of the baby.
