The second week is not yet actualpregnancy, although the baby is attached to the wall of the uterus, now the follicle is ripening, after this stage it will be decided whether the woman will be able to bear the baby or not.

From the third to the twelfth week goesembryonic period, only in the fourth week the girl can notice the absence of menstruation, some changes (drowsiness, toxicosis, loss of appetite and others) associated with pregnancy. Now the test will fully confirm the fact of pregnancy.

Eighth week onwards

Only at this stage the formation of the body andinternal organs almost ends, in the ultrasound picture you can clearly distinguish the head, handles, legs, fingers, eyes, mouth and other parts of the body. Now the child weighs only 5 grams, but already begins to behave more actively.

From the third to the ninth month, this is already a full-fledged person, every day he discovers new opportunities for himself, new abilities appear.

Child's situation

How does the baby lie in the belly? This question often torments future parents. There are several options:

  • head presentation (upside down);
  • pelvic presentation;
  • transverse presentation.

Head presentation

breech presentation
If the position of the child before childbirth is upside down,then this is the most favorable outcome, in this position natural births are shown (of course, if there are no other contraindications). But even in this position of the baby, the role of a successful outcome depends on the following factors:

  • activity of labor;
  • the position of the neck of the child (bent or unbent);
  • where to face the baby and many others.

There are some options for the location of the child with a headache:

  • face the abdomen or spine;
  • slightly rotated to the left or right side;
  • longitudinal, oblique or lateral position.

The most successful position with headache presentation- this is a longitudinal, small spring, forward, but most often babies are born forward by the back of the head. A 20-week-old fetus can already move actively, developing its muscles, while the child is moving, it will not be difficult to feel its position. At this stage, he actively moves, turns over, but there comes a time when the kid has little space, and he takes his final position, this question is being solved right now. As a child lies in the stomach, an experienced doctor or obstetrician will easily tell you, he should tell you how he feels, where the head, legs, handles, and so on are located. But it’s easy for mom to find out. According to statistics, 90% of future mothers know exactly what position their baby has occupied.

Buttock previa

upside down
Differently called pelvic. How does a child lie in the stomach with breech presentation? Booty down It is worth taking this occasion very seriously, you need to take into account the position of the baby’s head, the variety of poses and many other factors. Very often, doctors prescribe a cesarean section. Sometimes it is found that even in this position of the child, doctors allow natural childbirth if:

  • the child is not large;
  • mother's wide pelvis;
  • There are no contraindications to natural childbirth.

Buttock presentation can be determined using ultrasound, which you will do either in the last weeks of pregnancy, or immediately before birth.

Transverse presentation

position of the child before birth
If the fetus lies across, from the twentieth weekIf you are pregnant, the doctor will tell you exactly your verdict, the head is in this position on one side, and the priest is on the other side. What is the danger of this presentation? Previously, doctors could correct the situation of the child, sending him in the right direction, but it took a lot of work and patience, and the cesarean section was very dangerous. Now doctors reinsured, immediately sending the woman to the operation. There is also an exception in this case: twins, when one child is located across. In this case, the second fetus has the opportunity to properly deploy, using the vacant space.

How to independently correct the situation of the child

Even if the doctor delivered his verdict: buttock or transverse presentation, the mother herself is able to help her baby to take the correct position. All you need is to do some exercises daily on an empty stomach. However, before this, consult with your doctor, in some cases, the implementation of this gymnastics is contraindicated.
