Abnormal Position of a Breech Fetus in Womb Moms
Malpresentasi
1. The position of the fetus in the womb Moms are basically divided into two kinds, namely:
- Parallel, the fetal position extending parallel to the long axis and the mother’s womb. But can the position of the baby’s head under the (normal), below the buttocks or legs (breech).
- Horizontal, if the fetal position transverse to the long axis and the mother’s womb, commonly known as the location of latitude pregnant, Chernobyl trip.
“So, in addition to the position of the head down and parallel to the axis of the mother is called an abnormal position (malpresentasi), both breech and latitude,” said Dr. Didi Danukusumo, SpOG, KFM.
Please note, during pregnancy, the fetus is the largest and heaviest of the head. So if there is no blocking something, would head down by itself, not to mention the existence of gravity.
Location of breech
“Pregnancy is called a breech or latitude at the age of more than 37 weeks gestation. Because of the age before 37 weeks, 40 percent of fetuses are still able to change position. So, Moms do not have to worry if the fetus is breech or latitude as long as the pregnancy has not reached the age of maturity, ie 37-41 weeks,” explained Doctors who practice in hospitals.
Breech is divided into three:
1. Frank breech or buttocks pure lies, a state where both legs are lifted upward so that the lowest part of the fetus is breech.
2. Complete breech presentation, also called the location perfect buttocks, where the foot is next to the buttocks, so that the baby seemed to ‘squat’.
3. Incomplete breech or single footling breech presentation, fetal condition in which one foot on top while the other below.
Detection
The doctor / midwife can perform external examination (feeling) and using ultrasonography to be sure. However Moms can also detect signs and symptoms though not certain, namely fetal leg movements feel much more at the bottom or because the hard part (head) above, so it will urge Moms chest and causes feelings of tightness or pressure in the lung.
Cause
- Maternal factors, among others, the state of the uterus (eg too often give birth to relax uterine muscle strength or a narrow pelvis), the presence of myoma or cysts and the placenta lies low or even cover up the birth canal (placenta previa).
- Fetal factors, including the fetus is too large, short umbilical cord tangled up or even spin so that the fetus is difficult to change position, abnormalities in the fetus (eg hidrocephalus), multiple pregnancy, which is too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios) or little (oligohydramnios).
