Pelvic presentation occurs in about 3-5% of pregnant women. In normal pregnancy, the fetus occupies the correct position by the 22-24 week of pregnancy. However, this situation can remain unstable up to 35 weeks.
There is no particular cause for concern if at week 20 you were diagnosed with a pelvic fetal presentation. This period is still small enough to hold such a situation final. Chances are great that before the 30-35 week your child will change his position several times.
Of course, for the prevention of pelvic presentation, there are various methods. This is especially true for women with an increased risk of such a fetus. They include spasmolytic drugs that are prescribed from the 22nd week of pregnancy, a diet for the prevention of a large fetus.
But even if the fetus remains in the pelvic position after 30 weeks, there is a hope that it will still take a normal position. To help him in this woman appointed a special set of exercises for pelvic presentation of the fetus .
To be afraid of the wrong location of the fetus at week 20 is only if you have one of the following predisposing factors:
- abnormal shape of the pelvis;
- placenta previa;
- myoma in the lower segment of the uterus;
- ovarian tumors;
- a short umbilical cord, an umbilical cord around the child's neck ;
- lowered tone of the upper parts of the uterus and increased tone of the lower part;
- increased fetal mobility provided that the fetal development, prematurity, and polyhydramnios are delayed.
If the pregnancy is normal, you should not be tormented by doubts about the wrong presentation and the related troubles. Your child still feels completely free and can change his position several times a day. Your emotions will only lead to undesirable consequences.
