Patient's question:
I am 33 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I have no history of adverse medical conditions, but now my baby is in an abnormal position, specifically breech. I've seen a lot of information online suggesting that abnormal positions are caused by reasons such as fetal malformation or uterine malformation. Is it true that abnormal positions always indicate fetal malformation? How can it be ruled out?Additionally, if I don't perform exercises to turn the position, is there still a possibility that he could turn on his own?
Doctor's answer:
If the is discovered before the seventh month of pregnancy, it can be managed by. This is because before the 30th week of gestation, the fetus is relatively small compared to the uterus, and there is usually a sufficient amount of amniotic fluid in the mother's uterus, providing the fetus with enough space to move and correct its position on its own. Most fetuses naturally turn to the "" by the 30th week. However, generally speaking, if the persists between the 30th and 34th weeks of pregnancy, correction is necessary.During pregnancy, does not pose any adverse effects on the mother or child, but it is one of the common factors contributing to difficult labor. The should empty the bladder,, and perform the following exercise on a hard board: prone, with the knees on the ground and the buttocks raised, keeping the thighs perpendicular to the bed and the chest as close to the bed as possible. Do this exercise once in the morning and once in the evening, each time for 15 minutes, for a continuous week. Then, regularly visit the hospital for follow-up checks.
