Will the fetal position change in late pregnancy?

In the late pregnancy, many pregnant women will suffer from antenatal anxiety, because most pregnant women are afraid of the pain of childbirth, but the pain of childbirth is unavoidable, and the fetal movement will be more frequent in the late pregnancy, which may cause the fetal position of the pregnant woman to change. In the few days before delivery, the baby will do the movement of entering the pelvis by itself, so will the fetal position change in the late pregnancy?

Fetal position is an issue that every pregnant mother is very concerned about, because whether the fetal position is correct is closely related to whether the baby can be delivered naturally. Many pregnant women with malpositioned fetuses will use various methods to correct the fetal position during pregnancy so that they can give birth naturally.

So, will the fetal position change in the late pregnancy? Next, let’s take a look together.

The expectant mother's uterus is like a large swimming pool. If there is too much amniotic fluid and the fetus is relatively small, he will swim around in the uterus and his position will continue to change. Therefore, this is generally the case before 28 weeks of pregnancy, so the fetal position of the baby can easily change. After 32 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's body grows bigger, the amniotic fluid becomes relatively less, and the baby's position becomes relatively fixed. However, whether the fetal position will continue to change depends on the individual. If the baby is too active, the fetal position may continue to change, even at 36 weeks. Your baby may go from a head-to-breech position, or vice versa.

Therefore, whether the fetus will change in the late pregnancy depends on the individual, and the answer varies. Because in the late pregnancy, the fetus's body has grown larger, and the remaining space in the placenta has become smaller, and the amniotic fluid is also relatively less. At this time, the fetus's movement will be restricted by the space and become smaller. If the fetus is relatively quiet and less active, the fetal position in the late pregnancy will be relatively fixed and will not change significantly. On the contrary, if the fetus is more lively and active, its activities in the mother's body will be relatively frequent and large in the late pregnancy. It is not impossible for the fetal position to change during the activities.
