Posted on Wed, 7 Aug 2024
Question: While taking the scan, baby is on head-down position, what precautions need to be considered?
From the current medication, I have taken anti-biotic injections for 1 week and magnesium-sulfate tripp & an injection supporting lungs.
Do we need to be full on bed rest or is it okay to walk for personal care.
Any Risk on the current situation. Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Head down position is the normal position, delivery in this position is more favorable. The scan is alright.

Its better to have a brisk walk for few minutes every 2 to 3 hrs .

Presently now there are no risks in delivering the baby.
