abnormal fetal presentations

What are the Management Options?

Management of abnormal fetal presentations depends on the specific type and the gestational age. Some common management strategies include:
1. External Cephalic Version (ECV): This procedure involves manually turning the baby to the head-first position through the maternal abdomen. It is typically performed around 37 weeks of gestation.
2. Planned Cesarean Section: If the abnormal presentation persists, a planned cesarean section may be recommended to minimize risks.
3. Labor and Delivery Support: Close monitoring and specialized obstetric care during labor can help manage complications arising from abnormal presentations.
