Fetal position ROP what fetal position

The ROP position is the abbreviation of right posterior occipital position, which means that the fetal occipital bone is on the right posterior side of the mother’s pelvis and the fetal face is facing the left anterior side of the mother, which is a normal fetal position. whether the ROP position can be delivered by normal delivery depends on the specific situation of the fetus and the maternal birth canal. the ROP position usually turns to the anterior position naturally as the fetus turns in the second trimester, which can be delivered by normal delivery with the help of the midwife. However, if the woman’s perineum is tight, especially if she is a primigravida, a lateral perineotomy or cesarean section may be considered to avoid deep tears. If the ROP fetal position in late pregnancy affects the normal delivery, you can try to correct it by sleeping position and try to choose to sleep on the left side when you sleep at night. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups to check whether the fetus in the abdomen has turned over and whether the fetal position has returned to normal.
