What is the fetal position of RSCA?

The fetal position refers to the position of the fetus. Generally speaking, if the fetus is in the head position when a pregnant woman is about to give birth, she can choose to give birth naturally. If the baby is in breech position or other fetal position, it would be risky to give birth naturally, and cesarean section is recommended. If a pregnant woman finds that the fetus is in a transverse position around 30 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal position can be changed by having the pregnant woman sleep on her left side. So, what is the fetal position of RSCA?

The fetal position rsca means transverse position. If the fetal position rsca is found in the second trimester, it can be corrected, because the fetus is relatively small at this time and the pregnant woman has more amniotic fluid, so the fetus can move at any time. However, if it is late pregnancy and the fetus is still in the rsca position, it will be difficult to correct the fetal position.

In late pregnancy, if the fetus is in the rsca position, you need to be prepared for a cesarean section. Babies in transverse position are prone to premature rupture of membranes, so pregnant women need to prepare for delivery after 37 weeks of pregnancy. Since the fetus is already full-term at this time, the amniotic fluid may break at any time. If the pregnant woman is worried, she can also have a caesarean section after full term.

To sum up, the fetal position rsca is transverse, which is not the standard fetal position. If you choose to give birth naturally, the risk will be relatively high, and the fetus is prone to asphyxiation, and the pregnant woman may also have internal bleeding. Pregnant women in the later stages of pregnancy need to choose the appropriate delivery method based on their own physical condition and the specific situation of the fetus.

What does fetal position rsca mean? Fetal position means the presenting part is in the position of the pregnant woman's pelvis, that is, in the four phases of the pelvis - left front, left anterior, left posterior, and right posterior. The bone implicated by vertex presentation is the occipital (O); the bone implicated by breech presentation is the sacrum (S); the bone implicated by face presentation is the mentum (M); and the bone implicated by shoulder presentation is the clavicle (Sc).

The writing of fetal position is explained from three levels:

1. It means whether the bone is on the left or right side of the pelvis, abbreviated as left (L) or right (R); 2. It means the name of the bone, such as "occipital" for vertex presentation, "sacral" for breech presentation, "mental" for face presentation, and "shoulder" for shoulder presentation; 3. It means whether the bone is in front, back, or across the pelvis. For example, if the baby is vertex first and the occipital bone is on the left side of the pelvis and facing forward, the fetal position is left occipital anterior (LOA), which is the most common fetal position.

The abbreviations of each fetal position are as follows:

1. There are six fetal positions of vertex presentation: left occipital anterior (LOA), left occipital transverse (LOT), left occipital posterior (LOP), right occipital anterior (ROA), right occipital transverse (ROT), right occipital posterior (ROP);

2. There are six fetal positions for breech presentation: left sacral anterior (LSA), left sacral transverse (LST), left sacral posterior (LSP), right sacral anterior (RSA), right sacral transverse (RST), right sacral posterior (RSP);

3. There are six fetal positions for face presentation: left mentum anterior (LMA), left mentum transverse (LMT), left mentum posterior (LMP), right mentum anterior (RMA), right mentum transverse (RMT), and right mentum posterior (RMP);

4. There are four fetal positions for shoulder presentation: left arm anterior (LScA), left arm posterior (LScP), left arm anterior (RScA), and left arm posterior (RScP). It is very important to check the position of the fetus in the uterus. After 32 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has grown larger and is closer to the endometrium. The amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman has decreased relatively, and the fetal position is relatively stable. If the B-ultrasound examination finds that the fetus is in a transverse position, cesarean section or episiotomy should be used immediately for delivery.
