How much do parents know about fetal development? Pregnant moms, how many weeks pregnant are you? Is the fetal position smooth? Is the fetus basically stable past this gestational week?
Two days ago, I accompanied my sister to the hospital for a maternity check. My sister is 32 weeks pregnant, to the end of pregnancy, immediately facing labor. As a result of the examination, the doctor said that the fetal position is not correct, if you want to have a normal delivery, it is best to do a correction. However, my sister is worried that now are pregnant 8 months, and then do the fetal position correction is still useful?
In fact, the doctor said, the fetus to 34 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal position is basically stable. So, after that, it is futile for the mother to work hard. But before this time, listening to the doctor's guidance to correct, will still be effective.
28 weeks into late pregnancy, it is time to care about the fetal position
Generally speaking, from the beginning of the 28th week of pregnancy pregnant mothers into the late pregnancy, at this time it is time to consider the problem of production. In particular, if you want to have a smooth delivery, you should be concerned about the position of the fetus.
However, limited to care, do not be too obsessed with the fetal position smooth, after all, this time the fetus is not fully developed, pregnant mothers in the uterus is still a lot of space for the fetus to move around, his fetal position change is more random, or a lot of possibilities.
Like my sister's case, in fact, in the 28 weeks before the checkup, the doctor said that the position of the fetus is smooth, but a few days ago, 32 weeks to do the checkup is not smooth, which is the result of the fetus random activity. Therefore, in the 28 weeks before the fetus is not smooth, pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much, should pay attention to is later.
Within 28-34 weeks, the position of the fetus can still be corrected
After 28 and beyond, pregnant mothers and doctors will pay special attention to the position of the fetus, if the position of the fetus is smooth, then rest assured that they are ready for a normal delivery.
If the fetal position is not smooth, the doctor will give the mother some suggestions, such as doing professional fetal position correction exercises, moxa foot fumigation, etc., to help the fetus to change the fetal position. However, the specific use of what method, pregnant women should be based on the doctor's instructions to, never blindly correct their own.
So why is it 28-34 weeks to correct? The main thing is that at this time the uterine space is getting smaller and smaller, and the fetus is more inclined to find a comfortable position to fix it.
Moreover, under the effect of gravity, sitting and lying habits of pregnant mothers and other factors, most of the fetuses will become cephalic, that is, to become favorable to the birth of the fetus position. So, at this point, if the fetal position is not smooth, you can still seize the opportunity to correct it.
By 34 weeks, the position of the fetus is basically stable, and it is not suitable for "correcting the fetus"
By 34 weeks, the fetus will be ready to enter the basin, so the position of the fetus is basically stable. After all, at this time, the fetus is bigger than before, the uterus space is more narrow, the fetus activity is more restricted, so the fetus want to free movement, or pregnant women through some methods to correct the position of the fetus is more difficult.
Of course, if some pregnant mothers to 34 weeks of fetal development is still relatively small, fetal position there is room for change, the doctor will also give advice to help pregnant mothers to correct the fetal position.
But in general, the development of the fetus is in line with the normal gestational weeks, or even larger, at this time the fetal position is basically stable, pregnant women and then busy work is futile. So, it is crucial to grasp the time to correct the fetal position.
