Correction chart of breech position at 28 weeks of pregnancy

If the expectant mother finds breech position during the 28th week of pregnancy, there is no need to panic, because at this time, the fetus is still small, the pregnant woman has relatively more amniotic fluid, and the fetus has a larger activity space in the uterus. The breech position will automatically correct itself at this time. If breech presentation is discovered after 28 weeks, you need to go to the hospital for examination and correct the fetal position according to the doctor's advice. So, what should I do if I find breech position at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

It is difficult to choose natural birth when the baby is in breech position, and the risks are high. If the buttocks comes out first and the head remains at the birth canal, it may cause suffocation and lead to the death of the fetus. It may also cause the umbilical cord of the pregnant woman's fetus to fall off. At this time, a caesarean section is needed to deliver the fetus. Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, there are risks in choosing natural birth for breech presentation, and expectant mothers should make a decision on natural birth based on the doctor's evaluation.

If the baby is still in breech position after 28 weeks of pregnancy, you should follow the doctor's instructions and try to correct the fetal position to head position before delivery. The best time to correct the fetal position is between 28 and 32 weeks.

1. Chest-knee lying position: first remove the belt or clothes, and the abdomen should not be compressed. Lie on the bed with your chest and knees together, spread your legs, and make your calves and thighs at a 90-degree angle. Start with 5 minutes, then gradually extend to 10-15 minutes. Do it once in the morning, noon, and evening. You can rest in bed afterward.

2. External version: The doctor uses force to guide the fetal head to the pelvis through the pregnant woman's abdominal cavity, and the fetal buttocks to the fundus of the uterus, so that the fetus is in a head position. Before performing external valgus version, a B-ultrasound should be done to check whether the fetus is growing and developing normally, whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, whether the embryo has premature abruption, and the amount of amniotic fluid. If any abnormality is found, external venous stenosis cannot be performed. After the fetal position changes to the head position through external version, the abdomen should be tied with a belly band to prevent the baby from turning into a breech position again. After the operation, observe the fetal heart rate. If everything is normal, you can go home. After returning home, pregnant women should count the fetal movements themselves. If they find that the baby's fetal movements increase or decrease, they need to see a doctor immediately.

As we have seen in the previous detailed introduction, we all know that breech presentation is risky. Breech presentation before 28 weeks is generally not a big problem. If the fetal position changes after 28 weeks, you can try self-exercise first. If the fetal position cannot be corrected, you can rely on the help of a doctor to correct the fetal position. Generally, there is no problem. Pregnant mothers can count fetal movements and observe whether the fetus is normal.
