Fetal Position

As the fetus develops in the uterus, he or she changes position. If the fetus is in an undesirable position, the obstetrician or midwife can sometimes manipulate the baby's position. These positions can alter the outcome of your labor and delivery.

What is poping her cherry mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is slang for being the first one to have sex with you - after which you are no longer a virgin. It is common for girls to bleed some after their first time having intercourse because of tearing of the hymen - blood is red - cherry juice is red --> "popping your cherry". It gets used for guys too even though you would hope they don't bleed from doing it.

Why do elderly sleep in the fetal position?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Adults lay in the fetal position because at the core they are still the same human beings that were initially developed in the womb. Our bodies naturally form in this position because it is not only space efficient for the mother, but it's also safest for the baby, protecting head, neck, chest, and vital organs. As adults, we enter this position as a means of returning to the feeling of safety and comfort that can only be had by a person who has yet to be exposed to the perils of the world outside a womb. Or simply because it literally is a position that, inside and outside a womb alike, protects your vitals. We are aware of this on an instinctual, animalistic level, and reach for it as a coping mechanism, much like other behaviors that have been coded into us since we were in the trees, such as laughing and crying.

What if your baby hasn't turned at 32 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Less chance because of the growing fetus but you can ask the suggestion of an aversionist, a doctor specialized in manuevering the position of the baby with the use of an ultrasound if this is still possible. If theres still enough room and amniotic is adequate < i think it would be ok.

No there are no risks. Every woman carries their baby different. I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant and carry low too. Every morning I can barely make it out of bed because the pressure down there is painful. It's nothing to worry about! Stacey

What will a doctor do if your baby keeps flipping from transverse to head down and back to transverse in utero?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They will wait until you are due and if your baby is still transverse they will tell you that you have to have a c-section. Sadly, 99.9% of medical doctors will not give you any other option. There are several techniques you can do to encourage your baby to turn head down. There are several websites you could look into to find those techniques.

There are techniques a doctor can perform to turn the baby prior to labor, along with chiropractic adjustments that work well. There are positions you can lie in to help anchor the baby head down.

Here is one of many sites that could possibly help: at link.
