Patient's question:
At 33 weeks of pregnancy, when experiencing false labor contractions, my right lower abdomen becomes very hard, and it feels like the uterus when touched with my hand. When lying down, I notice that my abdomen also tilts to the right, which might be the uterus rotating to the right? I'm wondering if it affects the fetus and whether it's normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is usually unaffected and may have the potential to self-repair. Atrial septal defects discovered after one year of age will persist for life. It is recommended to use a medical occluder for treatment or surgical treatment. The heart on the left side and the heart on the right side are abnormalities in the position of the heart itself and the cardiac axis. The heart of a right-handed person indicates that the heart is located on the right side of the chest, with the apex pointing forward to the right, and the liver and stomach remain normal. The so-called "central heart" refers to the center of the apex, the ventricular septum is positioned in the sagittal plane, and the atria and ventricles are in normal or displaced positions. As long as it does not affect hemodynamic changes, it is not a problem.
