What's a posterior position?

Chuyên gia

The posterior position refers to the baby's back of the head facing the back. Essentially the mother and baby are back-to-back. This position often results in a longer labor, since the head has to rotate further during labor in order to be born. It can also cause intense back pain during labor for Mom.

Can a fall or blow to my stomach harm my unborn baby?

Chuyên gia

There are lots of factors and depends on how advanced your pregnancy is. The more advanced the pregnancy is, the higher the position where the baby occupies in the mother's tummy, the higher the chances of a fall or blow harming the baby. For example, if you had a fall or blow on your upper tummy during your third trimester and the baby is right at your pelvis, it won't affect your baby. It also depends on how much protection you have, the clothes you wear, the layers of abdominal tissue you have and how much force that lands on your tummy. The baby also has a layer of protection (the amniotic fluid). If in doubt, please see your doctor to check your baby's heartbeat.

Are 3D and 4D scans safe for my baby?

Chuyên gia

3D and 4D ultrasound are actually safe for the fetus. However, when you do an ultrasound, the fetus is also exposed to sound waves for a long time. The ultrasound examination can take up to 45 minutes, and this is beyond the recommended safe limits. If you want to monitor fetal development, 2D ultrasound is actually enough to answer that desire. The resulting image contains all the information you need, including physical and organ abnormalities. 3D and 4D ultrasound do provide more thorough and realistic results. However, they are more suitable for detecting health problems that are not seen on 2D ultrasound. Whatever type of ultrasound you choose, make sure you have consulted with your obstetrician.
