How can I make the fetus turn over and lie on its stomach?

Patient's question:

At 25 weeks, I had 7 major anomaly scans, but the baby was either lying or squatting, making it impossible to see the sacrum and coccyx. The amniotic fluid level was normal. I am desperate to know how doctors can help the baby turn into a breech position.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, during the detailed ultrasound examination for fetal anomaly screening, if the baby's position is not good, some parts may not be visible. Based on the described situation, it may help to encourage more movement, which could potentially change the baby's position. This may make it possible to see the previously obscured areas during a follow-up examination. If possible, try the Sims' position (side-lying position) to allow the baby to move more, which can also help the baby change its position.
