My friend will give birth in a short time. When I check, I find that the fetal position is not correct, and there is the situation of umbilical cord around the neck. So, if the umbilical cord around the neck, can I use external fetal position? Let's talk about it.

If the umbilical cord around the neck can be used to transfer fetal position

First of all, the fetus can be passed around the neck of the fetus. The main point is to defecate, relax the belt, kneel on the hard board bed covered with cotton wadding, straighten the forearms of both hands, close the chest to the bed as much as possible, tilt up the hips, and make the thighs and legs at right angles. This is done twice a day, starting with 3-5 minutes each time and then increasing to 10-15 minutes each time. Chest and knee position can make fetal buttocks withdraw from pelvic cavity and increase the chance of fetal head turning to head position.

Secondly, external rotation is the movement that the pregnant mother does when the fetus is not in the right position after 8 months of pregnancy. Before external rotation, the pregnant mother must do the chest and knee recumbent position correction movement by herself. The purpose is to make the buttocks or feet of the fetus falling into the pelvis float up, and then they can naturally return to the normal position. Once the knee chest movement is invalid, external rotation is adopted. However, if the umbilical cord around the neck with external fetal position, under the guidance of the doctor, especially according to the specific situation of the fetus scientific analysis, do not appear to affect the fetus.

Finally, the doctor will consider turning the fetus upside down from the outside to make the fetus turn 180 degrees, and then wrap the abdomen with an abdominal belt to maintain the head position. The specific method is to touch the fetal head on the abdominal wall, turn the fetal head slowly to the pelvic cavity, and then push the buttocks up. Of course, this kind of treatment must be done by the doctor. If you don't do it well, it will lead to the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck of the fetus or placental abruption.
