Many pregnant women do not understand what it means for the fetal head to be located on the pubic area. In fact, in the late stages of pregnancy, doctors will use ultrasound examination to determine whether the fetal head is in the pelvic area. If the fetus is in the pelvic area, it generally indicates that the pregnant woman is ready to give birth. In order to give expectant mothers more knowledge and understanding, let me introduce it to you.
What is the position of the fetal head on the shame
The position of the fetal head above the pubic area refers to the situation in late pregnancy where the fetus is surrounded by amniotic fluid and membranes, with its head facing downwards, buttocks facing upwards, and the entire body curled up, allowing its head to enter the pelvic cavity through the maternal pelvic entrance, thereby consolidating its body position. Usually referred to as entering the pot.
Time of fetal implantation
Normally, 80% -90% of primiparous women enter the pelvic cavity around 37 or 38 weeks of pregnancy with the fetal head; 10% -20% of cases do not enter the pelvis until after labor; Some babies can enter the womb at 33 or 34 weeks. It should be noted that even if the baby enters the womb early, it does not mean that they will give birth prematurely. Some mothers often do not enter the pelvis until before or after labor.
How long does it take for the fetus to give birth after entering the womb
Generally speaking, primiparous women can give birth 2-3 weeks after the fetus enters the womb, while multiparous women often start giving birth immediately after the fetus enters the womb. The relationship between the time of conception and the time of delivery is not definite. Entering the pelvis only indicates that the baby's fetal position and head shape are aligned with the pelvic bone. Some expectant mothers don't even get into the pot when they give birth, while others get into the pot while giving birth.
The result of prenatal examination shows that the fetal head is located on the pubic area, which means that the fetus has entered the womb and delivery is approaching. Expectant mothers can prepare for labor; If the prenatal examination finds that the fetus has not yet entered the pelvic cavity, appropriate exercise can be used to promote the fetus to enter the pelvic cavity, while also exercising the pelvic floor muscles, enhancing physical strength, and helping with vaginal delivery.
