Natural childbirth is the initial intention of every pregnant woman, as it causes less harm to the body and is easier to recover. But many pregnant women, after a long pregnancy, are finally about to give birth, only to find that their fetal position is not correct. Can the hip position still change to the head position at 36 weeks?
If the baby is found to be in a breech position during late pregnancy, it can be corrected in advance. But the best time to correct it is between thirty and thirty-two weeks of pregnancy, which is the best period for the baby's head to sink. At thirty-six weeks of pregnancy, it is difficult to correct it. Because at 36 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's basic development is completed and the body size is relatively large, the space for movement in the uterus is very small, so the chance of changing from hip to head position at 36 weeks of pregnancy is very small.
If it is a breech position, vaginal delivery is not possible, so pregnant women must communicate with their doctors in advance about their fetal position and agree on the delivery method. If you want to have a natural delivery, you need to correct the fetal position in advance. If you are lucky, if the fetal position is adjusted to the head position, you can have a natural delivery. If the fetal position is not adjusted, you can only discuss with the doctor to adopt a cesarean section.
If there are no physical conditions for cesarean section and vaginal delivery is necessary, doctors and midwives need to manually adjust the fetal position for pregnant women. It is to touch the baby's head in the pregnant woman's abdomen, then rotate it, slowly turn the baby's head into the pelvis, and then push the buttocks up. This method must be operated by professional medical personnel and cannot be completed by oneself.
