The position in which the fetal position is corrected is called the chest and knee position.
Abnormal fetal position is a major factor in obstructed labor. Before 30 weeks of gestation, most abnormal fetal positions can become normal on their own and do not need to be treated. If the abnormality still exists after 30 weeks of pregnancy, it can be corrected under the guidance of the doctor.
The position for correcting fetal position is called chest-knee recumbent position. The chest-knee recumbent position is to put the chest on the bed, the knees and calves are also put on the bed, the legs are spread apart, the calves and thighs are at a 90-degree right angle, and the whole body is supported by the strength of the chest and the knees, which can be insisted on 2 times a day, and insisted on for 10 minutes each time, and then the purpose of correcting the position of the fetus can be achieved.
It is recommended to do chest and knee position exercises under the guidance of professional obstetricians and gynecologists, and at the same time, follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid trauma. It is also necessary to strengthen nutrition, maintain a calm state of mind, pay attention to cold and warmth, and prevent colds. Avoid intense activities and emotional excitement.
If the abnormal position of the fetus remains uncorrected, when labor is imminent, the doctor will decide whether vaginal assisted delivery or cesarean section is needed to help the mother-to-be deliver the baby, depending on the situation at that time.
