Gluteal presentation of the fetus - risks and ways of reversal

During pregnancy, some women experience various abnormalities in their normal course. Sometimes a child in the womb occupies an incorrect position, not facing down, but, on the contrary, legs. This position is called the breech presentation. Its causes are diverse - this is polyhydramnios, and the developmental defects of the child, the previa or the low position of the placenta. With pathology of the uterus and multiple pregnancies, there is also a risk of such a deviation as the breech presentation of the fetus. Usually, in this position of the baby, the woman is operated by a caesarean section in order to avoid possible traumas of the baby and large ruptures in the parturient woman. But you can try to help the baby turn around in the head presentation.

Until the 32nd week, you can not worry and do not pay attention to the position of the baby in the uterus - at this time, he is still freely tumbling and floundering, as he wants, inside the mom. After 32 weeks, the child is usually identified with a location and takes it fairly stably.

What to do if by results of sonography you found out that the baby is inside is wrong? How to help him turn over his head down? After all, slows birth and, in general, it is dangerous in many cases breech presentation of the fetus. Exercises to correct this shortcoming are understandable and easy to perform. After discussing this nuance with a gynecologist, you can begin to perform a miracle complex that will help the baby to take the right position within the mother. That's actually the exercise:

1. Turns - you need to lie on the couch and turn from one side to the other four times in ten minutes. Exercise should be done daily three times - in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. The baby should turn around for a week.
2. Slope of the pelvis. It is done in the morning and in the evening on an empty stomach. The back should lie on any surface that has a slope, and raise the pelvis above your head by about 30 centimeters. You can use ordinary pillows, placing them under the ass. In this position, you can be from five to fifteen minutes. Within two or three weeks there should be a result, according to the testimony of the study, this posture is effective, in 95% the breech presentation of the fetus changes to the right one - the head one.
3. A little yoga is a knee-elbow pose. You need to kneel and elbows so that the head is below the pelvis. In this position, you can stand several times a day for twenty minutes.

As an option, you can go to the pool and dive in it, getting up on your hands, but this will require physical training. So women who do not have business with sports, the above described three exercises will be better.

In order for the child to remain in the correct position, it is necessary to adopt a tailor's pose that will help the head to move farther into the pelvis: sitting on the floor, soles of the soles of the feet, you should try to bring your knees as close to the floor as possible. Twice a day, until the birth, you need to take this pose.

If no exercises have helped, the breech presentation of the fetus persists, and the period is already pressing, the fetal rotation is performed manually by an obstetrician-gynecologist. This method is 70% effective and is performed under the supervision of ultrasound and CTG, as well as under the influence of special medications that relax the uterus.

What is dangerous breech presentation? During childbirth, the hypoxia of the brain in a baby can naturally occur, the risk that the umbilical cord will fall out, because the legs and the toe of the baby do not completely cover the cervix; The risk of birth injuries and spinal injuries increases because the legs and buttocks that pass forward do not completely open the uterus. In general, the position down the legs is still the wrong position of the baby in the womb and therefore, in order to reduce these serious risks, one must try to help him turn over before birth.
