What defects can breech babies have? Fetal breech position will increase the risk of delivery of pregnant women, and the most common cause of breech position water breakthrough is vaginal inflammation, which needs to be prevented according to the actual gestational age and examination results of pregnant women. What defects will breech babies have in details?
What defects can breech babies have? 1 First of all, will breech babies affect the legs?
The first thing we need to know is that the baby is in the mother's stomach. Because the space in the uterus is quite limited, the limbs can't be unfolded normally, and the baby is basically in a state of bending limbs. Therefore, for breech babies, it will not affect the growth and development of the legs, and there will be no problem that the legs will be faulty after the baby is born.
If your baby is breech, that is to say, your baby's fetal position is different from that of a normal baby. Generally speaking, the baby's fetal position will be head-down, while the breech position baby is just the opposite, with head up and buttocks down, which can be divided into three types: single breech position, multiple breech position and foot first breech position.
Secondly, it is difficult for babies with hip circumference to give birth.
Whether the baby can give birth smoothly, fetal position is a very important factor. In ancient times when medical technology was underdeveloped, many parturients had dystocia or died because of abnormal fetal position. If the position of the fetus is not good, it is generally impossible to give birth naturally. The breech fetus may cause premature rupture of membranes, uterine inertia, fetal head asphyxia and other problems.
Because, in the case of breech delivery, the head stays in the uterus for a long time, and the intrauterine environment is hypoxic, coupled with the influence of contractions, it is easy to cause the fetus to suffocate and die during delivery. Therefore, if the fetal position cannot be corrected before 34 weeks, then the doctor will suggest giving up natural delivery and choosing a safer cesarean section.
Third, why is there a breech position?
Among the mothers who give birth every year, 3%~4% are breech, and generally speaking, the baby's fetal position is head-down, so why is breech? This may be because there is too much amniotic fluid in the uterus or the mother's abdominal wall is slack, and the baby has a large space for activity, leading to breech position.
At the same time, if it is uterine malformation or fetal malformation, it will also lead to breech fetus. The uterus is in a bad state, with a single horn uterus or a double horn uterus, which is not suitable for the fetus. Head down, resulting in breech position. If the fetus is anencephaly, hydrocephalus, small head weight and other malformations, breech position will also appear.
Fourth, how to correct fetal position
How to correct this problem after finding fetal breech position? 28~32 weeks pregnant, pregnant women can do knee-chest recumbent exercises at home to help the baby correct the fetal position. The key operating posture is to kneel on the bed, then lie flat, with the chest close to the bed surface and the hips raised. It should be noted that the thighs should be perpendicular to the bed or the ground, and the chest should be as close to the bed surface as possible.
If the baby's fetal position has not been corrected by the 37th week, then it is necessary to find professional medical staff to help with the inversion of the fetal position outside the fetus, and forcibly correct the baby's fetal position through the action of external force. The main method is to find the position of the fetal head, slowly turn the head into the pelvis, and then push the ass up. This operation must not be done by yourself and needs to be handed over to professionals.
Important note: breech position fetus will not affect leg development, but breech position belongs to the type of malposition after all. If it can't be corrected in time before delivery, it will affect normal delivery, and pregnant women can also correct fetal position through relevant methods.
What are the defects of breech babies? 2. Is breech position common?
Fetal breech position is one of the common abnormal fetal positions.
There are many breech positions before 30 weeks of pregnancy, which should not be regarded as abnormal; After 30 weeks, most of them can turn their heads naturally, and those who continue to show breech position account for about 3-4% of the total delivery.
Second, the fetal breech position correction method
1. "Knee-chest recumbent position exercise" to correct fetal position
Knee-chest recumbent position exercises can be done before, after and during the 28-32 weeks of pregnancy, every morning and evening 1 time, every time 10 minute, and the fetal position can be turned positive for 1 week. Its posture is: on the bed or on the floor, chest and knees on the bed, hips held high, thighs perpendicular to the bed, chest as close as possible to the bed surface, but pay attention to loosen the belt before doing it.
2. "Fetal position valgus" to correct fetal position
If at 37 weeks, your baby is still in the buttocks, that is, breech position, the doctor may advise you to turn the baby upside down and try to turn it over to increase your chances of giving birth naturally. The specific method is to touch the fetal head on the abdominal wall by hand, then slowly transfer the fetal head into the pelvic cavity, and then push the buttocks up. Of course, this treatment must be done by a doctor. If you mess around, it will cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the neck or the fetus to peel off prematurely.
If the baby's buttocks and feet have reached into the small pelvis, it is difficult to reverse, or the fetal heart has changed during the reversal. We can't force it, so we have to let this "stubborn" child stand up and give birth. It is suggested that caesarean section is safer.
3. "Moxibustion therapy" to correct fetal position
This ancient Chinese medicine therapy is an important point to stimulate the body through hot herbs. In order to help breech babies correct fetal malposition, acupuncturists or Chinese medicine practitioners will put wormwood on the acupoints near your little toe, which is said to stimulate the baby to increase the activity and change the posture. Some small-scale studies show that moxibustion may have a certain effect on correcting fetal malposition. If you want to try, please consult a doctor first, and then go to the Chinese medicine hospital to find a qualified acupuncturist to help you.
What are the defects of breech babies? Three reasons of fetal breech position.
When the fetus is in the pregnant mother's belly, if the space in the uterus is relatively large, there is more amniotic fluid, or when the fetus is relatively small, it will easily lead to the breech position of the fetus because it can have a large range of activities. When the fetus itself is deformed, it may lead to difficulties in connecting the fetal head. For example, when the fetus has hydrocephalus and anencephaly, it can be found in time through examination, which will also lead to breech position of the fetus.
When a woman gives birth naturally, the widest part of the fetal body is the head, then the shoulders, and the narrowest part is the buttocks. When the fetus is in normal fetal position, the head will come out first, and then other parts will come out with the birth canal. When the fetal position is in breech position, the body will come out first. If the body can't open the cervix to let the head out at this time, it is easy to have dystocia.
Women must do a good job in the whole pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. Once the abnormal fetal position is found, it is necessary to adjust the fetal position in time in order to have a better delivery. At the same time, women should take a proper walk in the late pregnancy, which will also help production.
What should pregnant women pay attention to in breech position?
There are many things to pay attention to during pregnancy, and there will be corresponding precautions for different physical conditions of pregnant women. Hip position pregnant women are rare among pregnant women, but generally speaking, there will be no big problem. So, what should pregnant women pay attention to in breech position?
1, pregnant women with breech position must pay attention to taking appropriate outdoor walks as much as possible every day. Because it is good for the growth and development of the fetus. In addition, proper walking will keep the fetus in motion all the time, so that it is easier for the fetus to turn the breech backwards. In addition, proper walking can have a good influence on future delivery.
2, fetal breech position, pregnant women must pay attention to drink plenty of water about 30 weeks pregnant, especially pregnant women with oligohydramnios. If you want to temporarily increase the amount of amniotic fluid, you can achieve the effect by drinking more water. With more amniotic fluid, the fetus has more room to move and is likely to turn to the head.
In this case, pregnant women should sleep on their side, which is likely to help the fetus turn to the head position. In fact, the lateral position of pregnant women can make the back of the fetus face up, which is very helpful to adjust the fetal position. Pregnant women can determine the position of the fetal back through B-ultrasound during prenatal examination, so as to determine their sleep style. In addition, pregnant women can also be diagnosed by fetal movement. Under normal circumstances, the fetal back is on the left side, and the fetal movement is mostly in the opposite direction.
4. If the fetus is breech, pregnant women must ensure that they feel comfortable on weekdays. As we all know, the mood of pregnant women has a great relationship with the development of the fetus, and the development of the fetus will be healthier. Moreover, pregnant women should know that there is no need to worry too much about the breech position of the fetus, which has no impact on the health of the fetus itself, as long as they wait for delivery with a positive attitude.
