Patient's question:
What is fetal persistent transverse lie, and what is fetal intrapartum distress?Doctor's answer:
You can go to the hospital for a check-up. If it's been too long since your due date, the fetus may experience intrauterine hypoxia or fetal respiratory distress. Pay close attention to your baby's movements and look for any abnormal signs. Not all babies are born on their due date. The due date is just an estimate, and the period around it (within two weeks before or after) is considered normal. As long as the fetus is doing well inside the womb, there is no need to worry. If several days have passed since your due date and the baby has not engaged (entered the birth canal), and the baby is mature, it is recommended to undergo a cesarean section to deliver the baby to avoid intrauterine hypoxia.
