Although a vaginal birth is painful and painful, it is generally more beneficial than a caesarean section and the health of the mother and baby. The two interests are more important. There are many factors that determine the smooth delivery, and the positive or negative fetal position is one of the key factors.
There are also many kinds of fetal positions, and the fetal position suitable for smooth delivery is the head position, that is, the fetal treasure head is facing down, and some expectant mothers in the third trimester of pregnancy will also have incorrect fetal position, hip position and transverse position.
When many expectant mothers hear that "the fetal position is not correct", their first reaction is to ask the doctor:
"Isn't the fetal position just that can't be delivered smoothly?"
Follow Jia Jia to discuss what to do if you find that there is an incorrect fetal position
01
What are the causes of incorrect fetal position?
1. Too much amniotic fluid, the range of activity of the fetus in the uterine cavity is too large, that is, the fetus can move more freely in the large space, and when the activity is too large, it will affect the fetal position, resulting in loose fetal position.
2, multiple fetuses, amniotic fluid too little, etc., could have conceived a fetus of the uterus, because of multiple births or amniotic fluid and other reasons, it is easy to lead to the fetus in the uterine cavity range of motion is too small, limited activity, can not normal activities and then crowding and eventually cause fetal position is not correct.
3. Pelvic stenosis, placenta previa, macrosomia, etc., so that the fetal title is blocked. It is impossible to make the fetal head have a good position, and it is squeezed, so that the fetal position is not correct.
4. The abdominal wall of the expectant mother is relaxed, and the abdominal muscles lose support to the uterus and become inelastic, which will also lead to incorrect fetal position.
5. Fetal malformations, uterine malformations, etc., the space of the uterine cavity changes, the range of motion of the fetus in the uterine cavity changes, and the fetal position is not correct.
02
Is it possible to have a smooth delivery if the fetal position is not correct?
If the fetal position is not in natural delivery, the risk factor will be greatly increased, because the head is the largest and hardest part of the body, when the fetus is transverse or hip position, the body will be delivered first, but the baby's body cannot let the cervix open until the fetal head is successfully delivered, so it is difficult for the fetal head to be delivered.
However, after the fetal position is found to be incorrect, the desire for a smooth delivery can be realized by correcting the fetal position in time. Fu Aijia warm reminder: the best time to correct fetal position is 30-32 weeks of pregnancy, and there are the following methods of correction:
01 Chest and knee recumbent position
The expectant mother kneels on the bed, with her hands on the bed, her legs are parted and shoulder width apart, so that the chest and shoulders are as close to the bed surface as possible, the face is tilted to one side, the legs are naturally bent, and the thighs are in a vertical position with the ground.
This is the most common way to correct fetal misalignment, without the need for additional equipment and conditions, and can be achieved by expectant mothers at home. Insist on exercising two to three times a day, each lasting 10-15 minutes, a week or so for a cycle, and most importantly, the expectant mother still has to go to the hospital on time for a review.
02 Moxibustion to the vagina
In addition, expectant mothers can also correct the fetal position through TCM moxibustion. Take the sitting or lying flat way, use moxa moxibustion bilaterally to the pubic cavity, that is, the outside of the small toe, once or twice a day, each time for about 15 minutes.
When the expectant mother feels that there is fetal movement, she can immediately take the way of chest and knee recumbent position, which is very conducive to transcarnating.
03 External reversal
External reversal surgery is actually not complicated, and it can correct the fetal position without surgery, which is a very friendly corrective method for expectant mothers who are willing to have a normal birth.
External reversal surgery is usually applied to expectant mothers who do not have any contraindications after 37 weeks of pregnancy, during the correction process, the doctor avoids the placenta under the guidance of B ultrasound, and deftly pushes the fetal buttocks out of the pelvic entrance with "bare hands" to achieve fetal head reverse rotation, and then slowly pushes into the pelvic cavity until the fetal head successfully reaches the pelvic entrance, and the fetal position is smoothly corrected.
The mode of fetal position determines the mode of delivery. If there is an incorrect fetal position in the third trimester, the expectant mother does not have to be overly anxious, and with the doctor's advice to find a suitable corrective method to try to correct the fetal position, you can still achieve a smooth delivery.
