What to do if the baby hasn't entered the pelvis at 37 weeks

Before the fetus is about to be born, it can only be chosen for natural delivery if it enters the pelvis. If you want to know whether the fetus has entered the pelvis, you can find out through B-ultrasound examination. If the fetus has not entered the pelvis at the right time, pregnant women will be very anxious. At this time, you can use appropriate methods. So what should I do if the baby hasn't entered the uterus at 37 weeks?

1. How do you know if the fetus is in the pelvis?

The fetus may not enter the calf even if the head is in a downward position. However, if the fetus is in a transverse position or a breech position, it is impossible for the fetus to enter the calf.

If the fetus is not in the tray, the doctor will open the ring fingers and thumbs of both hands, press the upper edge of the ischial tuberosity, and press the fetal head. If the fetus is in the tray, the head will not move and will be fixed. If the fetus is not in the tray, the head can move, and there is a distance of two horizontal fingers between the fetal head and the metatarsal bones.

Generally speaking, there are several reasons why the pelvis cannot be inserted, including cephalopelvic disproportion, the baby's head is not in line with the pelvis, the baby is too large, the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, the fetal head position cannot be lowered, and placenta previa. The disadvantage of not being able to enter the tray is that it is easy to cause placental abruption, resulting in cesarean section, etc.

2. What should I do if the baby hasn't entered the pelvis at 37 weeks?

First, you can walk more in normal times, and you can breathe while lying down, and then slowly tighten the vagina from the anus, and then slowly relax and do it repeatedly several times, but don't do it too much, about 5 times each time will be enough. Or you can use your legs, fix one leg and do circular exercises with the other leg, or do prenatal yoga to help the baby enter the pelvis.

Only after the baby's head is in the tray can the position of the baby's head be fixed. Only by knowing the position of the fetal head can we understand whether the baby can be delivered naturally. Because some babies are not in the head position when they are in the tray, but their feet or buttocks are facing down, etc. These positions cannot be delivered naturally. If the baby has not entered the tray before delivery, it can only be delivered by caesarean section.
