What to do if the fetal position is not correct

The position of the fetus in the uterus is called the fetal position, which is very important because it is one of the important indicators for pregnant women to choose their mode of delivery. However, due to various reasons, many women have a fetal malposition. There is no need to worry too much after a fetal malposition occurs, and there are many ways to correct it, such as external inversion, moxibustion therapy, and also by doing fetal position correction exercises. The external inversion and moxibustion methods should be performed by an experienced doctor after assessing the condition of the pregnant woman. Before 32 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women can try to correct the fetal position by doing fetal position correction exercises, which should be done before meals or 2 hours after eating or in the morning before getting up and going to bed at night. Head wide and low position, the greater the difference between the height of the two the better, so that the fetus head to the mother’s diaphragm, through the change in the center of gravity to correct the fetal orientation. Do it for 10-15 minutes each time, once a day is enough, insist on doing it for a week and then check again to see if the fetal orientation has changed. After 34 weeks of pregnancy, the chance of self-correction decreases and it is not necessary to insist on doing it again. No matter which correction is done, it is necessary to strengthen fetal movement monitoring. Not all fetal position abnormalities must be delivered by cesarean section, but a comprehensive assessment is needed. If you are worried about the safety of fetal delivery, you can choose cesarean section during delivery by relaxing the surgical indications to reduce the risk of fetal delivery.
