What do fetal position and breech position mean?

Fetal breech position means that the fetus enters the pelvis with its head up and butt down in the uterus, just like sitting in fetal position. It is one of the common fetal position abnormalities.

cause

1. The uterine cavity is wide and there is more amniotic fluid. Due to the excessive relaxation of the abdominal wall of the parturient, the fetus moves frequently in the uterus, forming a breech position. 2. The uterus is deformed, the uterine cavity is narrow, and the movement of the fetus in the uterus is limited, so that the fetal head cannot rotate downward to form a breech position. 3. Placenta previa, pelvic stenosis and pelvic tumor blocking the pelvic cavity will all affect the descent of the fetal head into the basin and form a breech position. 4. Less amniotic fluid, fetal legs can't bend and straighten, which affects the bending or rotation of the carcass and forms breech position.

How to correct it

1.32 weeks ago, pregnant women can do knee-chest recumbent exercise to correct the breech position of the fetus. 2. Chinese medicine believes that acupuncture or moxibustion can promote the circulation of veins to achieve the effect of correcting fetal position. 3. Before delivery, experienced obstetricians and gynecologists can make outward steering to correct fetal position.

affect

Fetal position and breech position will increase the risk of natural delivery, and there may be cases where the head can't come out or umbilical cord prolapse leads to fetal death due to hypoxia. Therefore, it is safer to choose breech position to break the uterus and give birth naturally.
