What should I do if I am 7 months pregnant and the baby is in an abnormal position?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: 7 months pregnant, checked for abnormal fetal position. Some doctors suggest doing exercises, while others say it's unnecessary. What should I do? First follow-up question: I want to have a natural birth. Will it be affected? If it is, how can it be corrected? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, a fetus around seven and a half months will fix its position. If you have a cord wrapped around the baby, then it is not possible to correct the position. You can only let things take their natural course. If the baby can turn itself into the correct position through its own movement, then you can have a natural birth. If it cannot turn, then you will have to undergo surgery. For your situation, I recommend that you have regular prenatal check-ups. I suggest you drink plenty of water to maintain sufficient amniotic fluid. I suggest you have a follow-up check at 32 weeks of pregnancy to see how things are progressing. I wish you all the best.
