How can pregnant mothers judge the fetal position themselves?

In daily life, many women want to know the exact location of the fetus in the uterus, so that they can accurately understand whether the child's growth and development is in a normal state, and pregnant women do not have to worry about the healthy growth and development of the fetus. How can pregnant women determine the fetal position by themselves? Let’s find out below!

1. According to fetal hiccups

In fact, the fetus has already learned to hiccup in the pregnant woman's uterus, and this usually happens in the second trimester. The hiccups in the fetus are actually a good thing, which means that the fetus's lungs are exercising to breathe. When the fetus hiccups, pregnant women can usually clearly feel where the hiccups occur. Therefore, women can take this opportunity to determine the approximate position of the fetus. Generally, the head of the fetus will appear in the upper and lower abdomen of the pregnant woman; if it belongs to other parts of the fetus, it will generally appear in the middle and upper part of the pregnant woman's abdomen.

2. Based on touch

Generally speaking, as the pregnancy progresses, the fetus continues to grow and develop, and the uterus will be expanded. At this time, pregnant women can usually determine the exact location of the fetus through touch. Because the bones in the fetus's head are relatively hard. The fetus's limbs and buttocks are relatively soft. Therefore, pregnant women are advised not to rely on their arms to touch their belly to determine the position of the fetus. The hard area is generally the head of the fetus; the soft area is generally the limbs and buttocks of the fetus. In fact, doctors usually rely on this method to make judgments.

3. According to the mobile light source

When a woman is pregnant for 2 months, the baby's eyes will begin to grow and develop. By April, the fetus is very sensitive to light. At this time, if you shine a flashlight directly on it, the fetus will immediately open its eyes and turn its face to the bright area. Therefore, pregnant women can also use this method to move the fetus's head, so that they can feel the specific location of the fetal head.
