In late pregnancy, abnormal fetal position can be corrected through manual manipulation, surgery, or other methods. The fetus normally floats in the amniotic fluid within the uterus, and most fetuses naturally adjust their position due to gravity. However, if the position remains abnormal after full term, it is recommended to undergo examination under a doctor's guidance. If conditions permit, fetal position can be corrected manually. However, the specific approach depends on the individual condition of the pregnant woman; severe cases may require surgical correction.
