    37 weeks of pregnancy is already full-term, and now it is still a breech position, and it is unlikely to turn around.

    What is fetal breech presentation? Fetal breech position is one of the common abnormal fetal positions, and there are many breech positions before 30 weeks of gestation, which should not be regarded as abnormal; After 30 weeks, most of them can naturally turn into a cephalic position, and the persistent breech position accounts for about 3-4% of the total number of deliveries. There are single breech, complete breech, and incomplete breech presentation.

    Can a fetus be turned around? 1. If the fetus is in the breech position before 30 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant mother does not need to worry, and many will turn to the head position by themselves after 30 weeks.

    2. If the fetus is in the breech position at 32-37 weeks, you can try to do knee-thoracic exercises, swimming, preferably freestyle and breaststroke, moxibustion**, etc. to correct the fetal position.

    After a week, when the fetus is full-term and the uterine space is not large, the possibility of the breech baby turning the body on its own is relatively small, and external cephalic version can be taken at this time.

    Here's how it works: In this process, the doctor uses medication to relax the mother's uterus, and then pushes the baby to flip into the correct position by applying pressure to the lower abdomen. The doctor will monitor your baby's posture, the condition of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid throughout the process with ultrasound.

    Your baby's heartbeat will also be monitored at all times – if your baby's heart rate is too low, you will have to have an immediate caesarean section.

    The success rate of external cephalic version correction is about 58%. For multiparous women, the success rate is higher, and it requires a very experienced doctor. But there are some cases where external cephalic version cannot be performed at all, such as bleeding, low amniotic fluid levels, twins, etc.

    So don't be too entangled in this pregnant mother, it's already 37 weeks, it's better to go with the flow, although the probability of the fetal breech turning around at this time is not large, but it is still possible. Of course, if your pelvis is large enough, your physical condition allows, and the fetal position is a single breech, you can also try to have a normal delivery. However, if it is other breech positions, it is better to follow the doctor's instructions and prepare for a caesarean section.

    At this time, the fetus is relatively large, and it is impossible to come over, even if it is artificially turned positive, but the chance of success is not great, so it is necessary to prepare for a caesarean section.

    Many mothers try their best to make the baby turn into the head position, in fact, there is a possibility of hypoxia suffocation in the process of forcibly correcting, so it is not recommended to forcibly correct, a small number of children they like to stay in the breech position, some mothers forcibly turn to the head position, after a week the baby himself turned into the breech position, so the breech baby goes with the flow, monitors well, fetal movement and fetal heart rate is the most important.

    It's still possible to come over, so be sure to find a reliable doctor and adjust your fetal position. Don't worry too much.

    I don't think it's likely. Because at this time, the baby is already relatively large and cannot move freely in the womb.

    At 37 weeks, the baby is almost gone, so the breech position cannot be turned. The mother can choose to have a caesarean section, so that the child can be born safely and without physical problems. And at 37 weeks, the mother's belly is relatively large, and she can't do some special exercises at all, so she can only wait for delivery in the hospital.

    So the mother can choose to have a caesarean section and don't think about changing the breech position.

    I also checked on the Internet and found that 37 weeks is already relatively late, and the child may have been born at 37 weeks. Because pregnancy is about 40 weeks, many children will be born at 37 weeks, at this time the child's weight is relatively large, if he does not turn it around by himself, it cannot be turned around by external force. If you want to turn around, you can also say more to your baby so that he can understand his mother's words and turn on his own.

    After all, the baby also has frequent fetal movements, and the fetal position can be changed when the fetus moves, so that the baby's fetal position changes. But I think this method is really impractical, because children can't understand their mother's words. After all, the child has not yet been born, and he does not know what the adult says, so it is not very realistic to let the child change the fetal position through language education.

    We need to know that breech position is a not very good fetal position, which may cause the child to be squeezed at birth, causing the child to suffer from hypoxia. Therefore, we can let the child be born by caesarean section, so that the child's body can be relatively healthy and the child's body will not have problems. We must choose the right way to give birth, and caesarean section is also a very good way to not cause problems with the child's body.

    If the child is born through natural birth, the child will not be born at all at the time of birth, and the child will have a lack of oxygen.

    Be sure to go to the hospital for examination in time, and then you should also ask a professional doctor to correct the fetal position, so that it can be reversed.

    It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, pay attention to your sleeping position, and sometimes twist it through a doctor's operation.

    I think the best thing to do is to go to the hospital for a check-up and ask the obstetrician and gynecologist to put the fetus in the right position for you.

    At this time, pregnant women can correct the child's breech position through some exercises, or by doing some yoga movements or sleeping postures, or they can go to the hospital to find a doctor to correct the child's breech.

    At this time, it is difficult to turn around, because it is already 37 weeks, the child is relatively large, and blindly turning the child will cause heavy bleeding, and it can be operated by caesarean section.
