How long does it take to check the fetal position during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a very important matter for every woman, and at the same time, it is an even more important event for a family. Both the expectant father and the expectant mother hope that the baby can be delivered smoothly, but the baby's fetal position is very important for a smooth delivery. Malposition of the fetus can increase the difficulty of delivery and even cause fetal death, so expectant mothers must go to the hospital to check the fetal position. So, how early in pregnancy should you check the fetal position?

Generally speaking, the fetal position of most pregnant women will be fixed around 7 months of pregnancy, that is, around 28 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant mothers can go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, mainly to check whether the baby's fetal position is normal. Because the baby's fetal position is related to the mother's delivery method, if the baby's fetal position is found to be abnormal, the pregnant mother should not panic, because the fetal position can be corrected before 36 weeks.

When does the fetal position become fixed?

Generally speaking, the fetal position is constantly changing during the early and middle stages of pregnancy, and at the end of the sixth month and the seventh month, the fetal position will slowly begin to stabilize. Therefore, you must have a prenatal check-up at seven months to check whether the fetal position is normal. If it is not normal, you can correct the fetal position with the help of a doctor at that time.

The posture of the fetus in the uterus before birth is very important, and is directly related to whether the fetus can be delivered naturally. If the fetal position is not correct, it may easily lead to dystocia for the mother during delivery, which is very dangerous for both the mother and the fetus. If this happens, fetal position surgery or caesarean section is often required, and natural delivery can no longer be performed.
