At thirty-nine weeks of pregnancy, can a breech fetus engage in the pelvis?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if a fetus in breech position at 39 weeks of pregnancy can engage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation is unlikely. Generally, it is not possible to have a natural birth, and it is recommended to undergo a cesarean section.
After a cesarean section, the uterus needs a period of time to heal. It is estimated that it will take about a month to recover to a basic level, and three months to fully recover. However, it is still important to pay attention—do not get pregnant, and it is best to wait at least three years before getting pregnant and giving birth. Otherwise, there is a risk of uterine rupture during pregnancy.
