For fetal malposition during pregnancy, moxibustion, knee-chest position, and similar methods can be used for correction. If fetal malposition is detected after 30 weeks of pregnancy, timely adjustment is necessary and may be achieved through techniques such as moxibustion and the knee-chest position. If abnormal fetal position is found before 28 weeks of gestation, there is no need to worry excessively or seek special treatment. At this stage, the fetus is still in an early developmental phase, the amniotic fluid volume is relatively high, fetal movements are frequent, and the fetal position is naturally unstable, often changing as the fetus moves.
