What is wrong with the fetal position?

Malposition of the fetus should be adjusted actively. When correcting it, you can choose the chest-knee position, that is, let the pregnant woman's head be lowered as much as possible and the buttocks be raised as much as possible. It is best to urinate before doing it, and loosen your belt. When correcting, kneel on the hard bed board, put a pillow of moderate height on the pregnant woman's chest, and then move the arms forward as much as possible to keep the buttocks and thighs at a right angle. This correction is done about 2 to 3 times a day. There are many reasons for malposition of the fetus, which are briefly introduced below.

The causes of malposition of the fetus include uterine hypoplasia, uterine malformation, narrow pelvis, pelvic tumors, fetal malformation, polyhydramnios and other factors. If a pregnant woman has too much amniotic fluid, the fetus will have too large a range of movement in the uterine cavity. The fetus can move freely in a wider space. Excessive movement will affect the fetal position, making it loose. Due to multiple births, too little amniotic fluid, etc., the uterus that could originally nurture one baby will now have a small range of movement for the fetus in the uterine cavity, making it inconvenient for the fetus to move normally, resulting in crowding and malposition of the fetus.

Pelvic stenosis, placenta previa, giant fetus, etc., make the fetal delivery difficult. The fetal head cannot be positioned well, and squeezing occurs, resulting in an abnormal fetal position. The mother's abdominal wall is loose, which will cause the abdominal muscles to lose support for the uterus, lose elasticity, become loose, and cause an abnormal fetal position. Fetal malformations, uterine malformations, etc. cause changes in the space of the uterine cavity, which in turn changes the range of movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity, thus causing malposition of the fetus.

For malposition of the fetus, if it is a transverse position, then a cesarean section should be chosen during the delivery process. If the pregnant woman's pelvis is relatively large, then a cesarean section is not necessary, and there will be no harm in using a vaginal delivery. If the fetus is in a breech presentation, this phenomenon is more dangerous and may cause uterine rupture during delivery.
