What is LOP?

In the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers begin to pay attention to the birth of the baby, and the benefits of natural childbirth are recognized by more and more pregnant mothers. If you want to choose natural childbirth, the fetal position becomes the most concerned issue for everyone. Fetal position mainly refers to the position of the presenting part in the pregnant woman's pelvis. The fetal position suitable for natural delivery is mainly the head position, but in actual examination, some English letters will be used to indicate the fetal position. Next, let's talk about the topic of fetal lop position and what does fetal lop position mean? What are the clinical manifestations of fetal position?

What does the fetal lop position mean? The fetal lop position refers to the writing of the fetal position. In fact, there are three levels of writing of the fetal position: the first letter indicates the position on the left or right side of the abdomen, expressed by the letters L or R. L indicates above or below the pelvis, and R indicates on the right side of the pelvis. The second letter indicates a part of the route. If the baby's head is presented first, we use O to indicate it. This is also the part we call the occipital. If the buttocks are presented first, we use S to indicate this. The third letter refers to the front of the pelvis, and the back is still horizontal. If it is in front of the pelvis, it is represented by A. According to the different meanings of the three letters, we can understand that the fetal lop position indicates that the fetus belongs to the left occipital posterior position with vertex presentation.

What are the clinical manifestations of fetal position? The fetal position of the fetus can be divided into vertex presentation, breech presentation, face presentation, and shoulder presentation according to the different presenting positions. In actual examination, we can make a definite diagnosis based on clinical symptoms and clinical features. If necessary, we can use ultrasound examination, which can accurately check the fetal position of the shoulder presentation and accurately determine the actual fetal position.

According to the above saying, we know that the fetus is in the uterus, and the different presenting positions indicate the different positions of the fetus. When writing the fetal position, we mainly use letters to indicate it. The three letters represent different positions. According to this indication, the fetal lop position is vertex first, belonging to the left occipital posterior position, which is a normal fetal position.
