Doctor's answer:
At 21 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal head is relatively low on ultrasound, which is usually not a concern. If the fetal head is relatively low, it is generally recommended to prevent preterm labor. Sexual activity should be avoided. Do not overexert yourself. Rest more. Reduce activities appropriately, and avoid touching your abdomen frequently. Generally, this can be sustained, and the fetal head will gradually rise in the later stages. This is part of the child's natural development. If you are anxious, it will not only be beneficial for the child's development but also provide no other solutions. If the fetal head is relatively large, the only concern is that delivery may be slightly more difficult. Vaginal delivery might be a bit more challenging, and if the situation arises, the doctor may recommend a cesarean section. Do not worry; the doctor will give you the most reasonable advice.
