The presence of fetal malposition at the time of induction of labor does not affect the induction of labor. In case of fetal malposition, it should be corrected first, and if it does not improve after correction, cesarean section needs to be considered.
Fetal malposition is medically known as fetal position abnormality. If labor is only induced, it has nothing to do with fetal position abnormality and can be induced directly.
If the abnormal fetal position is found first, such as head first, shoulder first, breech first, etc., it can be corrected before 30 weeks of pregnancy by chest and knee position, acupuncture, laser irradiation or moxibustion to the yin acupoints, external inversion and other methods.
If it is after 30 weeks of gestation, cesarean section may be needed according to the condition of the fetus, etc. Without special circumstances, there is no need to induce labor. Specific treatment should be based on the doctor’s recommendation.
