From in what situation there is a child in a stomach at the pregnant woman, depends as there will take place future childbirth. Usually the kid holds a certain position by 33-34 weeks of pregnancy. Till this time he can turn over several times, being in buttock, in pelvic presentation, and even in general in cross.
Instruction
1. It cannot define position of the child in a stomach sometimes even to the experienced obstetrician-gynecologist. The most exact method of definition is an ultrasonography. It will be out on to week35-36 pregnancies. If the head of the kid is below, speak about head presentation. It is the most physiologic pose of the baby at childbirth. Handles and legs of the kid at this pose are pressed to a trunk, the back is directed to a mother's side, and a nape – to an entrance to a small pelvis.
2. At buttock presentation towards a small pelvis lie a buttock or a buttock and a foot of legs, at the same time the child as if sits. The kid can sometimes be in knee presentation when to an entrance to a small pelvis the bent knees are directed. And it is quite rare, less than in 1 percent of cases, the child takes a cross position.
3. Usually definition of position of the kid after ultrasonography is carried out by a palpation method, i.e. the doctor feels a stomach of the pregnant woman and finds a head and buttocks of the baby. However only the experienced doctor can define the valid position of the child. Sometimes even doctors confuse a bottom and the head of the baby with a long-term experience. In such cases appoint ultrasonography just before childbirth to define the course of further events.
4. Some mummies determine position of the child by a hiccups. Many consider that where reductions, characteristic of a hiccups, are felt, there is a head of the baby. But these feelings too subjective and only on them cannot be judged position of the kid.
5. Often kids in the late stages of pregnancy stick out the handle or a leg on which mom understands how the baby settles down. It is possible to define position of the child lying on a back. Then two hillocks – a head and buttocks are distinctly shown. But at the same time the head is mobile, by easy pressing it deviates, and then returns to the former place.
