Prenatal checkups are particularly important and must not be lazy. Regular checkups can timely detect any adverse conditions in the baby, and for pregnant women, they can also timely understand their own health status. In the late stage of pregnancy, during prenatal check ups, doctors often mention the position of the baby's fetal head. The term 'low fetal head' is often heard. Is it easy to have a low fetal head in the late stage of pregnancy?
Low fetal head refers to the direction of the baby's head. Under normal circumstances, in late pregnancy, the baby's head will slowly turn downwards to prepare for vaginal delivery in advance. If a doctor says that a pregnant woman has a low fetal head, it means that the baby's head has already turned down and is more conducive to vaginal delivery than usual. Therefore, a low fetal head in the late stages of pregnancy is particularly easy to give birth to.
However, it should be noted that if the due date is still early, the phenomenon of low fetal head may occur, which requires attention and may lead to premature birth. At this time, pregnant women should try to rest in bed as much as possible to prevent premature birth. And at the same time, pay attention to monitoring the baby's fetal movement and fetal heart sounds. If there is anything wrong, go to the hospital for delivery as soon as possible to avoid not being able to go to the hospital in time.
If the doctor informs during the prenatal examination that the baby's fetal position is not correct, such as breech or transverse, it is not conducive to vaginal delivery. It is necessary to prepare for a cesarean section in advance to avoid accidents that may harm the safety of the pregnant woman and the baby.
