33 weeks or hip position?

summary

We all know that the normal mode of delivery for pregnant women should be that the fetus is in the early stage and then gives birth to feet; It's called head first out. However, a fetus with hip circumference may be born in a different way from a normal fetus. This may increase the risk of fertility. So, what about the breech position of the 33 week fetus?

33 weeks or hip position?

At about 8 months of pregnancy, there is not much space in the womb. Most babies will take a head down position to make better use of the limited space. This position is called head position, or top first exposure. At term, about 97% of babies are in this position, and most of the rest are in breech position. There are several types of breech position: leg straight breech position (buttocks come out first, feet close to the head), full breech position (buttocks come out first and cross legs), foot first (breech position with one or two feet come out first).

Usually, doctors will feel the position of the baby's head, back and buttocks by touching the pregnant mother's lower abdomen, so as to judge the fetal position. If you can't find out the fetal position through abdominal examination, the doctor may make an internal diagnosis for the pregnant mother to feel which part of the baby is in the pelvis. In some cases, doctors may use B-ultrasound to locate the baby. If it's a breech position, in most cases, a pregnant mother will have a caesarean section, because studies have shown that,

Cesarean section is the safest way to deliver the majority of breech fetus. Only when the breech position reaches a certain condition, can vaginal trial delivery be carried out. However, if you arrive at the hospital, you are about to give birth, you may have breech vaginal delivery; If the pregnant mother is pregnant with twins, the first baby is in the head position, and the second baby is in the breech position, the second baby may also have vaginal delivery; If the baby lies horizontally in the uterus, it also needs to have a caesarean section (this is called "transverse delivery")

matters needing attention

When the fetal position is breech position, the risk of vaginal delivery will be increased. Compared with other parts of the fetal body, the fetal head is the largest and hardest part of the body. When the fetal head is delivered first, other parts of the fetus are easy to be delivered along with the birth canal. When the fetal position is breech position, the body will be delivered first, because the fetal body can not support the cervix to let the fetal head out, Therefore, it will be much more difficult to produce the fetal head.
