Patient's question:
At 38 weeks, during the fifth prenatal check-up, the doctor said the baby had engaged (entered the pelvis). At this time, the baby's buttocks were on the right side and the feet on the left. Three days later, the baby's buttocks were on the left side and the feet on the right. Does the baby's position change after engaging?Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, during the process of the baby engaging and preparing for delivery, his body will experience another jump. This includes the jump he makes during the onset of labor, which allows him to be delivered. Therefore, the baby's normal jumping is a normal physiological phenomenon. Moreover, before birth, his position continues to jump constantly. Through this jumping force, he is able to be delivered through the vagina. So, the baby is normal.
