Pregnant, many expectant mothers say that they are working hard, but the baby is also working hard...
In the second trimester, some babies are very lively and practice martial arts with somersaults on their stomachs. , Bao Ma will be a little worried about the baby being trapped by the umbilical cord. In fact, the baby is killing the boring time, kicking his arms deeply, and occasionally playing games with the umbilical cord.
But in the third trimester, the baby will move less later, because the space left for him is not enough for him to stretch, so He hugged his arms tightly and curled up his legs so that he did not occupy as much space as possible. Later, the baby will enter the basin, maintaining a head-down position.
This inevitably makes many people have a question: Is it not uncomfortable to face down?
As an adult, after standing upside down for a while, I feel that the blood fills my head and feels dizzy. Is it not uncomfortable for the baby to stay in the mother's stomach for several weeks?
Answer: Not uncomfortable!
The mother's womb is like a swimming pool to the baby. The baby is wrapped in the amniotic membrane, and the baby is filled with amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid not only plays a role in lubricating, so that mothers-to-be will not feel pain, but also protect the baby from gravity. Just like swimming in a swimming pool, the water in the pool is buoyant, and the amniotic fluid is the same for the baby. This buoyancy reduces the weight of the blood.
In this way, the baby cannot feel the blood in the body rushing to the head. So it is not uncomfortable for the baby!
Head down is an instinct.
Most expectant mothers will notice that the baby enters the basin in the 37th to 38th weeks, but there are also earlier, such as 33-34 weeks, which is not always accurate, and some have it before delivery It began to enter the basin after the contraction. So the time to enter the basin is not accurate, but mothers-to-be will have feelings, such as suddenly feeling that the heartburn is no longer, and the appetite has improved; the chest is not stuffy, the belly has moved down, some sinking, and the feeling of falling pain; frequent urination increases.
The head into the pelvis is to make the childbirth more smooth
The baby enters the pelvis, which is to put his head into the mother’s pelvis , Let yourself no longer float, which is more conducive to childbirth.
When giving birth, under normal circumstances, the baby can come out as long as the head can come out. And the inverted posture allows the baby to breathe the air as soon as possible, and can also use the leg kick to borrow force at the critical moment of delivery. This is the result of human evolution, the best way to thrive, which is what we call instinct.
Therefore, not only the mother is working hard during delivery, but the baby is also working hard, enduring the huge clamping force and bursts of contractions.
If the baby is not head down, the mother who wants to give birth naturally should find a way to correct the baby.
Except for the head position, the rest of the fetal position is unfavorable for natural delivery, and dystocia may occur.
So how should the expectant mother correct the fetal position?
Remember, the fetal position during pregnancy is not correct, the prerequisite for adjusting the fetal position must be in the hospital after the birth check, in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations and requirements. There are two common ways.
Method 1: Use the body position to help the baby transfer the fetal position (the expectant mother can adjust it at home under the premise of the doctor's advice)
Kneel on both knees, or kneel straight on the bed, Let the thigh and calf be at a 90 vertical angle, and then bend down at work, try to put the chest against the bed, stretch your hands forward, and push your butt. Once every morning and evening, insist on 15-30 minutes each time. This is to use gravity to letThe baby has entered the position of the pelvis and pushed out, and then changed the fetal position.
Of course, there are other asanas for correcting the fetal position, all of which need to be performed after the doctor’s examination and follow the doctor’s advice.
During the third trimester of pregnancy, periodic check-ups must be performed, with a frequency of once a week, to monitor the fetal heart rate, and do color Doppler ultrasound if necessary.
Method 2: With the help of a doctor
The doctor will rub the belly of the expectant mother with his hands to force the baby to turn around. This requires a skilled and experienced obstetrician.
I met an expectant mother who had an incorrect fetal position during the third trimester checkup. The doctor said at the time that she should go home and try to correct the supine position by herself. They can also ask them to help implement the external reversal surgery, but there are instructions In the horizontal position, the probability of turning into the right is very high, but the hip circumference may have a 50% success rate, and this mother is in the breech position, she is still willing to give it a try.
However, if the mother-to-be does not meet the conditions, the fetal position cannot be forcibly reversed. You should still listen to the doctor's advice. It is not possible. Caesarean section may be the best method.
