Abnormal fetal position can greatly affect the smooth delivery process and easily lead to difficult childbirth for women. Therefore, in the late stages of pregnancy, early correction is necessary for women with abnormal fetal position. So, what are the conditions of abnormal fetal position?
Fetal postures with improper fetal position include breech position, transverse position, and oblique position. A fetus in the breech position has the head above and the hips below, and the breech position is divided into complete breech position, single breech position, leg straight breech position, and foot position.
A fetus in a horizontal position is a fetus lying horizontally in the mother's uterine cavity, perpendicular to the mother's body. And the oblique position is the baby's lying position inside the uterus, which is also very dangerous.
The harm of fetal misalignment to both the mother and the fetus is significant. Because during childbirth, improper fetal position can cause irregular uterine contractions in women. Due to abnormal symptoms of uterine contractions, it is easy for the mother to experience uterine rupture, which can lead to early rupture of the uterus.
Misalignment of the fetus can cause significant lacerations in the female birth canal and may also lead to massive bleeding. For fetuses, improper fetal position can easily cause deformation of the fetal head, and even lead to brain injury, hypoxia, asphyxia, etc. in the uterine cavity due to prolonged labor. Therefore, fetal misalignment must be corrected as soon as possible.
