What to do if the fetus is in an abnormal position?

In order to ensure the healthy development of the fetus, expectant mothers need to go to the hospital for physical examinations regularly, because women are prone to physical changes during pregnancy. The most worrying issue for pregnant women is whether the fetal position is correct, and the fetus will often change its position in the body. Doctors can only choose the mode of delivery according to the fetal position. So what should I do if the fetus is not in the right position?

First, what should we do if the fetus is in an abnormal position? Pregnant women can adopt the knee-chest position, but it should be noted that they should urinate and loosen their belt before doing corrective exercises. 2-3 times a day, 10-15 minutes each time, 5-7 days as a course of treatment, check again after one week. This is a method of increasing the chance of the fetus turning into a head position by changing the fetus's center of gravity. If the fetal position is still abnormal after 30 weeks, go to the hospital and have the doctor reverse the fetus by pushing with hands or other actions. This method requires professional skills and pregnant women cannot do it at home.

Second, during pregnancy, malposition of the fetus will not have adverse effects on the mother and child, but it is one of the common factors causing dystocia. Usually, if the fetal malposition is discovered before 7 months of pregnancy, it only requires closer observation. Because before 30 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is still small relative to the uterus, and there is more amniotic fluid in the mother's uterus, the fetus has room to move and will correct the fetal position by itself. However, generally speaking, if the fetal position is still abnormal at 30-34 weeks of pregnancy, it needs to be corrected. Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy should be careful not to be too lazy to exercise due to fatigue. They should walk more after meals. In order to ensure a smooth delivery, they should persist even if they are a little tired. The baby in the mother's belly often moves around freely, and the fetal position has a great influence on delivery. In the late pregnancy, the belly is big and the expectant mother will feel tired, but doing more exercise is very helpful in correcting the fetal position.

What should I do if the fetus is in an incorrect position? To correct the knee-chest position, the pregnant woman should lie prone, keep her head low and her hips high, turn her head to one side, bend her hands and place them flat on the ground on both sides of her chest, keep her chest close to the ground, and keep her legs perpendicular to the ground at 90 degrees. Her knees should be separated as wide as her shoulders, and make sure her hips are raised. Note: You should urinate and loosen your belt before doing corrective exercises. Do it 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 10 to 15 minutes. One course of treatment is 5 to 7 days, and check after one week.
