Knee-chest position to correct fetal position

Before the 30th week of pregnancy, the position of the fetus belongs to the breech position or not can not care about it, but after the 30th week, such as still belongs to the breech position, can be corrected by using the knee-chest position method. This method by the center of gravity of the fetus changes and pregnant women transverse septal resistance, to increase the chance of the fetus into the head position, 7 days for a course of treatment, such as unsuccessful can be done for another 7 days, the efficiency of 60% to 70%, a small number of pregnant women to do the knee-chest lying down dizziness, nausea, panic, can not adhere to, then need to be changed to other methods of correcting the position of the fetus.

Postpartum uterine ligament relaxation, lying on the back for too long, the uterus is easy to fall backward due to gravity, if not corrected, can cause back pain, dysmenorrhea, menstrual flow to the abdominal cavity. Starting from 10 days postpartum to do the knee-chest position twice a day is significant in preventing backward tilting of the uterus.

Buttock position self-correction of fetal position

"Buttock position self-correction method" is a simple and effective method of correcting the fetal position, and its effective rate can reach 92%, its practice is like this:

Pregnant women lying flat on the bed, waist cushion height of 20 centimeters (1 ~ 2 pillows), the two calves naturally sagging in the edge of the bed. Do it once a day in the morning and evening, 10 to 15 minutes each time, 3 days for a course of treatment.

When doing the breech position self-correction method, it should be noted that: the correction method is arranged in the 30-34 weeks of pregnancy for the best results; correction should be carried out before meals, correction should be calm breathing, muscle relaxation; cushion should be soft, comfortable, moderate height; if there is a vaginal water, bleeding or sudden change in fetal heart sound (conditions can be monitored), should stop this method.

The normal position of the fetus in the uterus should be cephalic, i.e., the head is facing down and the buttocks are facing up, and the head should be delivered first in labor; on the contrary, it is breech, and the buttocks are exposed first in labor. Since the head of the fetus is larger than the buttocks, if the buttocks are delivered first, it will be very difficult for the head to come out, resulting in difficult labor. Therefore, it is very important that the position of the fetus is normal or not, which is related to whether the labor can be carried out smoothly. In 28 weeks of pregnancy before the fetus is still small, the amniotic fluid is relatively more, even if the fetal position is not correct most of them can be corrected by themselves, but in 30 weeks of pregnancy after the fetal position is still not correct, we should be in the doctor's guidance to self-correction:

Breast and knee lying down method is applicable to 30 weeks of gestation after the fetal position for the breech position or transverse position. Specific operation for pregnant mothers before meals, 2 hours after eating or get up in the morning and at night before bed, first go to empty urine, then release the belt, knees slightly apart (and shoulder width), in bed, chest and shoulders on the bed, head tilted to the side, the thighs and calves into a 90-degree right angle, both hands hanging down on the sides of the bed or placed on both sides of the head, the formation of buttocks high and head low position, in order to make the top of the head of the fetus to the maternal diaphragm, to make the center of gravity of the change in the fetal The center of gravity is changed to change the baby from the breech or transverse position to the head position. Do this 2 to 3 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes each time, and review the fetal position after a week.

Acupuncture point method can also help to correct the fetal position, can be done together with the chest and knee lying method. The specific method is for pregnant mothers to take a sitting position, feet on a small stool, loosen the belt, with a lit roll of moxa smoked to the yin points (bilateral feet, the outer edge of the small toes). This excites the endocrine system of the brain, increases the secretion of estrogen and prostaglandins, and promotes uterine activity, thus causing the fetal baby to turn. Do this once a day for 15 to 20 minutes, and review the fetal position after a week.

The lateral position is suitable for transverse and occipital posterior position, which can be done by gently stroking the abdominal wall in the direction of side lying at the same time, twice a day, 10 to 15 minutes each time.

After the above methods of correction still can not be turned to the head position, the doctor needs to take the external inversion surgery. If you can't have a normal delivery before the birth, you should be hospitalized in advance, and the doctor should choose the appropriate delivery method.
