How to change breech position to head position at 36 weeks?

Many pregnant women want to give birth by natural delivery, because this can reduce the harm to the body. However, in order to have a natural delivery, the fetal position must first be normal. Many pregnant women will find that the fetal position is not correct during the examination. This situation can actually be corrected, but the best time to correct it is around 30 to 32 weeks. So how to change the breech position to the head position at 36 weeks?

First, how to change the breech position to the cephalic position at 36 weeks? Modern medicine already has more advanced methods to ensure the safety of the fetus and the pregnant mother. However, it is necessary to be hospitalized 1 to 2 weeks before the expected date of delivery, and the doctor will decide the method of delivery based on the specific situation of the pregnant mother.

Second, by the 36th week of pregnancy, the baby is basically mature, and the space in the uterus is very limited, and its movement is very restricted. If the fetus is still in an abnormal position at this time, the pregnant mother must communicate with the doctor in advance about your delivery method, because after all, only a very small number of babies can turn to the correct fetal position during delivery. When the doctor finds that the fetus is in an abnormal position, he will discuss with the pregnant mother how to choose the best method of delivery. If the fetus turns to a head position after adjustment, natural delivery is the first choice. If it cannot be adjusted back, it may be safer to choose a caesarean section. The doctor will analyze the pros and cons and let the mother, family members and doctor make a choice together.

Third, in the rotation procedure, the pregnant mother must do chest-knee position correction exercises on her own. The purpose is to allow the buttocks or feet of the fetus that has fallen into the pelvis to float up, and then naturally return to the normal position. External rotation is performed only when knee-chest maneuvers are ineffective. The doctor may consider performing an external inversion, allowing the fetus to flip 180 degrees, and then wrap the abdomen with a belly band to maintain the head position. The specific method is to touch the fetal head on the abdominal wall with your hand, then slowly turn the fetal head into the pelvic cavity, and then push the buttocks up. Of course, this treatment must be performed by a doctor. If you do it yourself, it may cause the umbilical cord to be wrapped around the fetus' neck or placental abruption to occur. This exercise requires the assistance of doctors and midwives. Since it is not easy for pregnant mothers to exert force on the abdomen, they should open their mouths wide, take slow and deep breaths, and then bend and open their legs completely.

How does a breech presentation change to a cephalic presentation at 36 weeks? Pregnant mothers with malpositioned fetuses need to decide the method of delivery based on the position of the fetus during delivery. If it is a transverse position, you should consider a cesarean section; if it is a single breech presentation, that is, the fetus is only buttocks facing down, with both feet raised, and the pregnant mother's pelvis is normal, the fetus is 5 to 7 pounds, not too large, and the labor progresses quickly, you can ask an experienced doctor or midwife to complete the natural delivery with full buttocks blocking; if it is a full breech presentation, with feet first presentation or knees first presentation, that is, the fetus's feet, one foot, knee joints, etc. are at the bottom, you must have a cesarean section to complete the delivery.
