What is fetal malposition
Fetal malposition refers to the wrong position of the fetus in the womb. Normally, the fetus should lie head down at the bottom of the uterus, which is the best position for delivery. If the fetus is placed head up, face down, or in any other position, it is called malposition.
Causes and risks of malposition of the fetus
There are many reasons for abnormal fetal position, such as the size of the fetus, the position of the placenta, the shape of the uterus, multiple pregnancy, etc. Improper fetal position will increase the difficulty of delivery, increase the possibility of cesarean section, and increase the safety risks for mother and baby. To reduce such risks, active measures can be taken to correct fetal malposition.
What methods can be used to correct fetal malposition
1. Kneel down and lie down
Kneel on your knees on something soft and lie on it with your hands extended forward, similar to lying on your back. This position helps to turn the fetus forward from the hip position and correct the malposition of the fetus.
2. Lie on the swing chair
Let your belly hang with your butt pointing up. With the fetus\’s head naturally downward, you can also use a cushion or tie a cushion to support the waist, which will provide better support.
3.Shallow water swimming
Swimming back and forth in relatively shallow water stimulates uterine contractions and can also help the fetus change its position, thereby correcting malposition.
Things to note
To correct fetal malposition, pregnant women themselves need to overcome certain difficulties. During the implementation process, be careful not to overexert yourself or use postures that are not suitable for the body shape of pregnant women. Be sure to consult a professional doctor or midwife before implementation for the most effective and safest results.
Summary
Correcting fetal malposition is an important and difficult task. To obtain good results in this process requires the joint efforts of the pregnant woman herself, professional medical staff and her family. During the correction process, you need to pay attention to posture selection, control the strength of the body, and ensure safety. If any abnormality occurs during the implementation, it is necessary to stop immediately and seek help and support from a doctor or other relevant personnel.
