What are the methods for correcting fetal malposition at 36 weeks of pregnancy?
Disease description:
At 36 weeks pregnant, I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor said the baby's position is slightly abnormal. What are the methods to correct fetal malposition at 36 weeks of pregnancy?
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, if the fetal position is abnormal, there are no suitable corrective methods available. When fetal malposition occurs at 36 weeks, regular prenatal check-ups are necessary—weekly visits including fetal heart rate monitoring. If an abnormal fetal position is detected, the decision between vaginal delivery and cesarean section should be made based on individual circumstances. At 36 weeks gestation, medical interventions to manually reposition the fetus are not recommended, as they may pose risks to the fetus. Therefore, even with an incorrect fetal position, a cesarean delivery can be performed safely with minimal risk. However, attempting to manually alter the fetal position may lead to more serious complications.
