What is a transverse presentation?

The transverse presentation or transverse lie describes the position of the child in the uterus, when it lies to the side, horizontally through the uterus. This is against the position of the head down, many children assume a few weeks before the birth or more complex back position of the child at the end. In both cases, the child is vertical and vaginal birth is a possibility. The fetus may be at any of these positions, including transverse presentations, a month before the end of pregnancy, but at the point of birth a transverse lie usually requires a C-cut. Vaginal childbirth is generally considered surviving or possible, unless the fetus can turn.

There are many potential reasons why transverse presentation may occur, although this is not very common. Premature birth can sometimes include this presentation because the child simply did not have enough time to move to the head position down. Placentary previa, where the placenta is low in the uterus, can change the child for and is more likely to cause a transverse lie. Sometimes the uterine malformation or any type of unusual dLine -up walls to reduce movement and inhibit the fetus before rotation.

Multiple pregnancy is sometimes associated with a greater risk of transverse presentation of more or higher order of more children. A large amount of amniotic fluid increases the risk of this condition. Weakened abdominal muscles can also facilitate the fetus in a transverse lie.

The placement of a child or children at the end of pregnancy is carefully recorded during the prenatal tests. If the pregnancy is close to its end and the child is in transverse presentation, doctors can try to turn the child if there is no clear indication that it will not work. If premature or regular work occurs, attempts can be made at the beginning of work to turn a ttacé child, but if these attempts are not successful, the supply of C-Section is very important.

There is a risk for the child's muscular and skeletal system from the transverse presentation and in many cases the child simply cannot fully enter after afterthe birth canal if it is vertical. Other risks include complications such as the umbilical cord prolapse and the deprivation of the fetus, long before birth. With access to a qualified medical facility, these complications of the transverse presentation of lie can be prevented and most of the full -fledged children in this position are supplied healthy through section C. Where there is no access to medical care, the situation is dangerous, mostly for the fetus. The suspicious transverse presentation is best treated with sophisticated medical intervention that provides better results for mother and child.
