Patient's question:
At 33 weeks pregnant, breech position, the chest-knee position has been ineffective for 2 weeks. What other good methods are there?Doctor's answer:
1. Knee-chest exercise corrects the pregnant woman's bladder emptying, loosens the waistband, and on a hard board, assume a prone position with knees on the bed and buttocks raised, with thighs perpendicular to the bed and chest as close to the bed surface as possible. Perform once in the morning and once in the evening each day, for 15 minutes each time, and continue for one week. Then, go to the hospital for a follow-up check.2. If the fetus has not turned at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor may consider performing an external cephalic version (ECV) to turn the fetus, enabling a smooth delivery. External version is suitable only under conditions such as adequate amniotic fluid, the fetus's back positioned on both sides, the mother's moderate weight, and the fetus's buttocks not yet entering the deep pelvic cavity.
