What are the seven small movements to promote the fetus into the pelvis?

When a pregnant woman reaches the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus will slowly enter the pelvis. It is also a very common situation that the fetus does not enter the pelvis in the late stage of pregnancy. The failure of the fetus to enter the pelvis will greatly affect normal delivery and may easily lead to dystocia, which is very harmful to the body of the pregnant woman and may easily lead to danger. There are many ways to promote the fetus to enter the pelvis. You can do some small movements, some exercises for pregnant women, or massage.

What are the seven small movements to promote the fetus into the pelvis?

1. Walking: Mothers can massage while walking, twice a day, half an hour each time. Walking can help us relax the pelvic ligaments and help the baby descend into the pelvis.

2. Leg rowing exercise: Expectant mothers can hold the back of the chair with their hands at home, fix one leg, and make circles with the other leg. Do it about 6 times, return to the original position, and then switch to the other leg. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening.

3. Pony stance: Mothers need to be careful about this movement and not use force too quickly. Hold the edge of the table with your hands, stand steadily with your feet, and then slowly bend your knees. At this time, the pelvis will move down until the knees naturally separate and bend. Then push your feet upwards with force and stand up slowly until you can stand upright. Repeat this every day.

4. Waist exercise: The expectant mother holds the back of the chair with her hands, inhales slowly, uses her arms to exert force, stands on tiptoes, straightens her waist, and makes her lower abdomen close to the back of the chair. Then exhales slowly, relaxes her arms, and returns her feet to their original position. Do this 5-6 times in the morning and evening.

5. Pelvic exercise: The expectant mother gets on her hands and knees, inhales and arches her back, exhales, raises her head at the same time, and lifts her upper body as high as possible, repeating 10 times.

6. Climbing stairs: Climbing stairs can exercise the thigh and buttocks muscles, and help the fetus enter the pelvis, so that the first stage of labor can come as soon as possible. Mom can climb the stairs on weekdays and find a hill to walk on in the afternoon. If you feel tired, take a rest in time and pay attention to safety when going down the stairs.

7. Pupil muscle exercise: Expectant mothers can lie on their backs on the bed, slowly contract their vaginal muscles, and at the same time pull their buttocks up. After counting to 5, slowly lower them down, and repeat 10 times. After the fetus enters the pelvis, it will also give us expectant mothers a lot of wrong information. Every time we have a contraction, we think that the baby is about to be born. In fact, many times it is an illusion. When the uterus has regular contractions, it means that the baby is about to be born. To put it bluntly, for example, if the contractions occur once every two minutes and are regular, then the baby is really about to be born. Other irregularities are illusions.

Reasons for the fetus not entering the pelvis

The reasons why the fetus does not enter the pelvis are as follows: cephalopelvic disproportion, the fetus is too large, the pelvis is narrow, etc. One of the factors that affect the fetus entering the pelvis: the physical condition of the expectant mother. If the fetus does not enter the pelvis for a long time, a caesarean section is recommended. After all, the child is so big, and for the safety of mother and child, you should not try again to avoid intrauterine hypoxia or fetal expiration. In any case, safety comes first.

Physical condition of the expectant mother: If you are in great shape and your abdominal muscles are very elastic, your belly may be tighter, thus changing the angle of the baby's body and presenting part with the pelvis. In this case, it will be more difficult for the baby to enter the pelvis. To help your baby's head drop into the pelvis, you need to relax your tummy muscles and push your belly forward as much as possible.

The expectant mother’s usual posture: When the fetus enters the pelvis depends on your usual posture. If you sit for a long time at work, in the car, or on a soft sofa watching TV, your baby is likely to lie in the posterior position, with the back of his head toward your spine. This makes it difficult for the baby to enter the pelvis, and that baby position is not the best position for an effective delivery, partly because the baby's presenting part is too high. Whenever you sit down, be sure to lean forward with your knees lower than your hips. This will help your baby's back turn toward your front and move downward.
