When the baby rolls upside down in the belly during pregnancy
On the eve of birth, when the baby is turned upside down, doctors fix his position as the most appropriate for a successful delivery. It is important for both the mother and her doctor that the baby is ready to leave the womb. With its correct position, it is easier for the doctor to take delivery, for the mother and baby the process will be the most painless.
At what time during pregnancy does the baby turn upside down in the stomach?
Even in the mother’s womb, the fetus is spinning, constantly changing position. This amuses and pleases mom, because it testifies to the excellent condition of the baby. By the end of pregnancy, there is less space in the womb, and it is more difficult to turn. The time comes when the fetus is fixed. How it is located depends on how the birth will take place.
During pregnancy, with the help of special exercises, you can “convince” the baby to position itself correctly
At the 36th week, when the unborn child is fully formed, its position should be the most convenient for birth. Head down is a classic. More than 90% of children take this position on the eve of childbirth. The alternative is breech presentation, not a reason for a cesarean section. However, giving birth will be more difficult. Some babies take an intermediate position, sitting diagonally or laterally. What to do in such a situation, the doctor decides.
How many weeks can you “convince” your baby to turn around correctly?
Often, already at 32-34 weeks, the fetus takes the desired position. If he is still not positioned properly, Mom and her doctor have time to “convince” him to turn right. Will help:
- special exercises;
- walks;
- conversations with the baby.
For exercise, you can talk to your doctor who will be giving birth. It makes sense to sign up for fitness for pregnant women. Changing a tiny position will not go unnoticed. Mom will feel a powerful push inside herself. You should go for an ultrasound scan and make sure that the child lies down as needed. Long walks will help to consolidate the result.
There is a lot of evidence that babies roll over inside the mother’s womb to the parent’s voice. Dads are more likely to achieve success. You need to talk with the bottom of the mother’s abdomen. The voice should be soft, gentle and convincing.
If all else fails, the baby is not left lying upside down, the parents can only accept his position. This is not a reason for panic, but an opportunity to start reckoning with another family member who will soon be born. Mom should know that modern medicine will help her give birth in any position of the baby inside the womb.
