The fetal transverse position refers to the shape of the fetus in the mother's uterus, generally showing a horizontal shape. At this time, it needs to be actively adjusted to promote the fetus to present a normal fetal position before it can be delivered. The transverse position of the fetus often causes the mother's uterus to expand horizontally, causing a burden on the body. At this time, you can choose to perform yoga ball exercises under the guidance of the doctor to promote the fetus from horizontal to vertical. In the vertical position, it is divided into cephalic and breech positions. Head position of the fetus, is also unable to carry out natural labor. If there is a need for natural labor, pregnant women need to redouble their efforts to exercise.
