The size of the fetal head is something that expectant mothers are very concerned about. In fact, on the ultrasound examination checklist, there is a label for the size of the child's head, which is the child's head circumference. However, many women do not know how to measure this and are not sure if it is accurate. So, what can be used to determine the size of the fetal head?
The size of the fetal head first depends on the circumference of the fetal head. During the examination, specialized instruments will analyze the head and tail of the fetus. BPT is a reference data for doctors to check the development of the child, whether there is any imbalance between the head and pelvis, and whether the delivery can be smooth. All of these require this data.
If the fetal head is too large, it may be difficult to give birth naturally. However, with the help of a doctor, even if the fetal head is too large, it can still be delivered smoothly through the birth canal. If the pregnant woman is already exhausted, it can affect the fetus and require prompt delivery. At this time, some tools will be used to assist the pregnant woman.
However, birth forceps are rarely used now because they may cause harm to newborns. Therefore, the current method of attracting childbirth is to use a cup shaped object placed on the baby's head to attract the baby. Generally, after two to three attempts, it will have an effect. This is a medical auxiliary method.
