Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Abnormal position generally refers to the fetus being in an incorrect position within the uterus after 30 weeks of pregnancy, more commonly seen in pregnant women with loose abdominal walls and those who have given birth before. Abnormal positions include breech position, transverse position, occiput posterior position, face presentation, etc. The breech position is most common, while the transverse position poses the greatest danger to both mother and baby. Since abnormal positions can cause varying degrees of difficulty and danger during delivery, early correction of position is recommended.Knee-chest position: This method is generally used for pregnant women whose position remains breech or transverse after 30 weeks of pregnancy. The pregnant woman should perform this exercise before meals, 2 hours after eating, or in the morning upon waking and before bed. Before starting, she should empty her bladder, undo her belt, and kneel on the bed with her knees slightly apart (shoulder-width apart). Her knees should form a 90-degree angle, with her chest and shoulders pressed against the bed. Her head should be tilted to one side, and her hands should hang by her sides or rest on either side of her head, creating a position where the buttocks are higher and the head is lower. The greater the difference in height between the two, the better, as this helps the fetal head reach the mother's diaphragm, using the change in center of gravity to correct the fetal position.
