When many expectant mothers go for NT, doctors say that the location is not good and they cannot see it, so they will feel anxious and at a loss. I will definitely have a question in my heart: What is the reason for the poor position of NT? Will a bad NT position have any adverse effects on the fetus? Below, we will answer these questions.
In fact, NT examination is a method to determine whether the fetus may have Down syndrome. The poor position of NT does not mean that the baby has Down syndrome, but rather that the baby's position in the expectant mother's belly is not good, which makes it impossible to see the transparent band like back of the fetus's neck, thus making it impossible to determine whether the fetus has Down syndrome.
Expectant mothers don't need to worry too much. If the position is not good, they can try changing it and taking another photo. It is recommended that expectant mothers relax and walk up and down stairs. In addition, poor appetite in the early stages of pregnancy can also affect the position of the fetus. Expectant mothers should have a balanced diet and have a follow-up examination after 2 days. Regular prenatal check ups should be conducted to observe the growth and development of the fetus at any time.
Correction method:
1. If the fetal position is not correct, pregnant women can do knee chest exercises more often to help the fetus correct its posture, once in the morning and once in the evening, for 10-15 minutes each time, paying attention to the fetal movement. If the fetal movement is severe, stop immediately to rest.
2. If the fetal position is not correct, the doctor can use external rotation to wrap the belly with gauze, touch the fetal head position, and help the fetus turn over.
3. Expectant mothers should exercise more, but be careful not to overwork and maintain a happy mood.
