What should I do if my child is lying on his stomach while doing four-dimensional exercises?

When I had the 4D surgery, the baby was in breech position, and the baby just refused to show his face. It took three times to pass. First of all, the mother needs to understand what the purpose of 4D is. Is it simply to take a frontal photo of the baby? Not really. The four-dimensional test is an indispensable major abnormality item in the pregnancy test. It checks the baby's development, facial features, limbs, brain, heart, spine, liver, kidneys and other items. When a child is lying on his stomach, the facial features and other conditions cannot be clearly understood, and conditions such as cleft lip and palate cannot be ruled out. Why a child lies on his stomach depends on the fetal position. How can I expose the baby's face for four-dimensional inspection? Let me share my experience.

The first time, I sat and waited for the fourth dimension without doing much exercise. While waiting for me, the doctor checked that everything else was fine. He said that the baby's face couldn't be photographed because he was lying on his stomach. Just let me take the stairs. Well, I accepted it readily and walked up the stairs obediently. After walking for about half an hour, my husband also helped me buy something to eat.

Before the second time, I rested for almost half an hour. When it was my turn, the baby was still lying on his stomach and refused to show his face. At that time I was a little impatient and anxious. The nurse asked me to do exercises. Just lying on the soft sofa waiting for inspection. Also lift your butt. It was already after 5 pm at that time, and the doctor who wrote the order for me was already off work. In order to finish it on the same day, I gritted my teeth and persisted for 15 minutes. By the time I finished I was out of breath and sweating profusely. What's more, I'm a fat pregnant woman. If it doesn't work, wait until next time.

The third time I walked into the room where the four-dimensional work was done, I was the only one left. The moment I lay down on the bed, I told the doctor that I would wait until next time. The doctor encouraged that many pregnant women have done it many times, and it will definitely show up. Fortunately, the little guy was still very capable and finally took the photo. Thank God.

This is my three fourth-dimensional experience. Did it three times on the same day. When I made the appointment for 4D, there were no places in public hospitals, so I made an appointment with 4D in a private hospital, thinking it would be more expensive. Fortunately, the doctors and nurses in private hospitals have very good attitudes. When it is time to get off work, pregnant women will wait patiently for the treatment to be completed as long as they persist. I have heard from many friends that the attitude of doctors in some public hospitals is not very good and they are particularly impatient. Therefore, pregnant mothers who have not made an appointment with SiDian can first understand the situation of the hospital before making an appointment. This will make SiDong more comfortable.

From the moment she becomes pregnant, every pregnant mother fantasizes countless times about what her baby will look like, whether it will be more like her father or more like her mother. The four-dimensional test is an examination during pregnancy that allows you to see the baby's face and even the baby's movements. It is something that every pregnant mother attaches great importance to and looks forward to.

The four-dimensional examination is very detailed, and the ultrasound technician will observe it repeatedly until every part of the baby's body is seen. However, many babies may not cooperate. My two babies kept "hide and seek" with me during the four-dimensional examination, and repeated it several times before the whole process was completed.

Everyone wants to pass through the fourth dimension smoothly, everyone wants to see the baby’s cute face, and everyone wants to hear the doctor say everything is normal. But what can we do to get the baby to cooperate well? You might as well try the following methods:

Although pregnant mothers are well prepared, sometimes it is inevitable that they will encounter uncooperative babies. At this time, do not be discouraged. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can turn around and come back again. examine. Because during the examination, some babies sleep the whole time, no matter how you pat their belly.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, the four-dimensional test was checked twice before she passed. She never straightened her face, and it didn't work when she turned over and turned sideways. She just didn't move. Later, during a meeting in the corridor, I walked around twice and checked again, and finally I saw the ear on the other side again.

Four-dimensional inspection requires not only enough physical strength, but also enough patience. The health of the child is the biggest wish of parents, especially those who have had other conditions during pregnancy, such as transfusions in the first trimester, bleeding in the first trimester, chest X-rays in the first trimester... Because I didn’t know I was pregnant. I had a chest X-ray, so I was particularly worried about the 4D scan, and I paid more attention to this examination. The results were all normal, so I felt relieved.

In the fourth dimension, many hospitals allow taking pictures of the fetus, of course only a close-up of the face. It is this four-dimensional photo in which only the outline can be seen. Every mother has stared at it repeatedly. I don’t know how many times I have studied it.

Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is usually performed in the 20th week of pregnancy. In order to successfully capture all aspects of the baby, you can try the following methods.

1. Based on daily observations, choose a time period when the baby's fetal movements are more frequent to check, so as to improve the pass rate of one-time inspection.

2. If the time cannot be controlled, eat something half an hour before the examination. The baby will generally be more active after eating. If there is no reaction to eating ordinary food, you can eat a small amount of chocolate, or drink some yogurt, drinks, etc. The baby may taste new flavors and move around.

3. Walking or climbing stairs, many people do not pass it at one time. The doctor will ask pregnant women to go out and walk more in the corridor and climb the stairs slowly. The baby may turn around.

4. Pat your belly and listen to music. Some babies are lazy. If the above methods don’t work, you can sit down, shake your baby, pat your belly, and listen to music for a while to simulate your usual behavior. Time for prenatal care at home.

5. For babies that are particularly difficult to photograph, some doctors will advise pregnant women to find an empty bed in the hospital and crawl for a while, using their limbs for support instead of lying on their stomachs, as the baby may turn over. , the image was captured.

In short, you must combine your own actual situation, master the baby's activity patterns, and stimulate turning through appropriate methods. I hope that all mothers can successfully pass the four-dimensional examination!

The scope of four-dimensional color ultrasound examination is relatively wide, and it can examine many parts of the fetus, such as weight, height, fetal heart rate, amniotic fluid, brain, face, heart, abdomen, umbilical cord, spine, etc., so it is suitable for every A prenatal check-up that every pregnant woman must do.

When doing the four-dimensional test, both the doctor and the pregnant mother hope that it can pass in one go, but the fetus moves around in the mother's belly, playing with itself, sometimes kicking the mother, and sometimes pushing the baby away. The face is covered, and sometimes the baby is lying on his stomach, because Siwei needs to check the baby's face and observe the development of the face. The baby cannot be checked when he is lying on his stomach, and can only be checked when the baby turns over.

1. Touch the belly

Pregnant mothers should gently touch the belly back and forth with the palm of their hands (try not to touch the belly frequently, as this can easily cause the fetus to wrap around the neck and cause contractions). Let the baby feel the mother's presence, talk to the baby, and encourage the baby to turn over.

2. Eat something

Pregnant mothers should eat something before doing color ultrasound, and their stomachs must be full. Many pregnant mothers report that fetal movements will be more obvious after eating in the morning. , Therefore, before the examination, prepare some chocolates and biscuits in your bag, eat some when needed, and see if the baby can be turned around.

3. Moderate exercise

Accompanied by family members, going out for a walk and climbing stairs will help the fetus move, and the fetus may turn over.

4. Shake the belly

When some doctors find that the baby is not in a good position during the examination, they will gently shake the pregnant mother's belly, and the baby will adjust its position.

If the baby does not cooperate for the first time and fails to pass the fourth dimension, you can try the above methods. When the mother finds that the baby is moving in the belly, it means that the baby's position may have changed. At this time, inform the doctor Do a color Doppler ultrasound and maybe you will pass!

Mothers should not become impatient because the fetus does not cooperate well, and should maintain a good attitude at all times.

If the pregnant mother tries several times and the baby still maintains the same position, then she can only make an appointment for the next examination. Maybe the next time the examination will be passed, it will pass.

When I saw this question, I remembered my experience as a four-dimensional doctor. I hope it can be helpful to you. Because the four-dimensional doctor made an appointment in advance, I went there without having breakfast that morning. I don’t eat every time I go for a checkup (I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat during other blood tests). The first time I did the lying on my stomach, the doctor told me to go down for a walk for two hours, so I went downstairs to eat something and walked for about an hour. After an hour break, I went up and was still lying on my stomach. The doctor said that if it didn’t work, I still had to go. I went down and walked for a while, had lunch and bought a chocolate to eat. When I went to work in the afternoon, I tried it and I was still lying on my stomach. The doctor said Come back in two days! I walked for several hours that day, even though I was just walking and resting, I was still very tired, so I asked my husband to pick me up and take me home. I cried when I saw him. I was tired and had not passed the day. I went home and went to bed. Two days later, I was still lying on my stomach. The doctor asked me to go down and walk, so I just walked around in the hospital garden until I went to work in the afternoon and I was successful. I usually don’t like to move. Maybe the kids are lazy too! The doctor said that some cases take a week to pass, but it was relatively smooth for me! However, there are only a few who passed once. My suggestion is to walk according to your own situation. Take a rest when you are tired. You can eat some chocolate or dessert. The baby likes it very much. I hope it can help you

I have a lot of experience in this [face covering]

I remember when I was pregnant with my baby, I went to the city hospital for four-dimensional surgery, but the baby never cooperated with lying down. , it was almost time to get off work, and I thought I would have to go back if I didn’t cooperate after one last try, because the hospital was far away. Later, I ate chocolates in the corridor, then called the baby's name at that time, and said to him, "Let aunty see it. We came so early and spent so much money. It's a pity that you don't let mommy see you." "Hey, let Auntie take a look, okay?" As a result, he turned around [I want to be quiet]

We also did fetal heart rate monitoring. Our baby didn't cooperate every time, so I took it with him. When it comes to food, eat something before every meal, and turn on the music for him to listen, and he will be very cooperative.

Because ultrasound images (four-dimensional color ultrasound) are clear and dynamic, pregnant mothers can see the appearance of their babies in advance. However, many pregnant mothers will encounter an embarrassing situation, which also makes them uncomfortable. The ultrasound doctor has a headache because the fetus is always lying on its stomach and its facial features and expressions are basically invisible.

When in the mother's womb, the fetus likes to curl up with the abdomen facing inward and the back facing outward. This posture is a natural self-protection posture, which not only provides a sense of security, but is also conducive to the development of the baby's nervous system. However, this makes it impossible to screen for fetal facial abnormalities, and it cannot satisfy the curiosity of pregnant mothers who want to see the true face of their baby.

How to turn the fetus over and cooperate with the doctor’s examination?

01 Communicate with the baby

First of all, the pregnant mother should consciously communicate with the baby to make the baby mentally prepared. Pregnant mothers who pay attention to prenatal education know that the five-month-old baby's hearing is already very sensitive and can feel the mother's voice and respond to the mother with fetal movements. At this time, you can touch your belly and say: "Baby, mom will take you to take a photo today. You have to be very obedient. The camera is on mom's belly. You have to look at the camera and don't be shy, otherwise mom won't be able to see it. You~"

02 Eat

The second step is to eat. There is no need to fast for ultrasound imaging (four-dimensional color ultrasound). Pregnant mothers should eat a nutritious meal before the examination to replenish water and energy, such as milk, bread, eggs, whole grain porridge, etc. You also need to take away some sweets, such as chocolates, cakes, snacks, etc. These foods can relax the mother and make the baby happy. This is because the blood sugar level in the mother's body increases, and the baby becomes stronger after "eating and drinking enough", so he starts to stretch his fists and feet.

03 Listen to soothing prenatal music Get moving.

04 Appropriate exercise

Furthermore, you can also exercise appropriately, such as walking and climbing stairs.

Each fetus has its own "biological clock", and the number of fetal movements during the day and night is also different. Generally, the activity is the least in the morning, gradually increases after noon, and the fetal movement is active from 6 to 10 o'clock in the evening. The baby's fetal movement is related to the mother's amount of exercise. This is why mothers who have not moved after their due date need to increase their activities.

What should I do if my child lies on his stomach while doing the fourth dimension? When I was pregnant, my biggest worry, like you, was that the baby would not cooperate during the four-dimensional pregnancy. But in the end, the doctor taught me a posture, and the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound finally showed the face. I will share my experience below for your reference.

When I was 23 weeks and 4 weeks pregnant, I made an appointment for a four-dimensional color ultrasound at 8:00 in the morning. The whole thing was like this. I got up at 6:45 and started the four-dimensional ultrasound at around 8 o'clock. I was the first to get it. The first time I went in for a photoshoot, it took almost half an hour. After the treatment, the doctor asked me to take a walk and said that the baby’s face couldn’t be seen when he was lying on his stomach. So the second time, I followed what everyone in my circle of friends said, ate a Dove, drank half a bottle of Coke, and walked for 20 minutes.

Then I went to take a second photo, but was kicked out again, saying that the baby was still motionless and lying on his stomach. For the third time, I asked various pregnant mothers in the group. Some said eating ice cream is helpful, some said drinking hot water, and some said drinking yogurt. So I bought a bottle of yogurt, slurped it down and walked for 25 minutes.

Then I went to take the photo for the third time, but was kicked out again. The baby's position was still motionless. The 4th time, the mother in the group told me to discuss with the baby carefully and thoughtfully, ask him to turn around obediently, let mom look at his face, and play some music to stimulate him. So I also said good things and listened to music.

Then I took the photo for the fourth time. Not surprisingly, the baby still didn’t move. The 5th time, my sister-in-law told me not to move around, sit down and rest, shake it and pat my belly. I did as I was told, and even went to the back seat of my husband's car and lay down there for more than ten minutes, simulating the baby's usual fetal movement position on the bed at home, but it seemed to have no effect because I still couldn't feel it moving.

Sure enough, the fifth time I went in, I was kicked out again. The sixth time, almost four hours have passed. From the first call at 8 o'clock to almost 12 o'clock, the doctor is about to get off work. I haven't done it yet, and I am really worried to death. So I took advantage of the doctor's last 10 minutes before leaving get off work and shamelessly asked the doctor to check if the baby had turned over.

As soon as he entered, the doctor said that he still couldn't see anything, and it was already 12 o'clock and it was lunch break. There were basically no patients left. The doctors in other rooms had also dispersed, so the doctor used his last resort. The trump card was that they gave me one last chance. They gave me the B-ultrasound bed and let me climb on it alone for 10 minutes, which is the posture in the picture below. If this method still doesn't work, I'll come back in the afternoon. They're getting off work.

So, I did as I was told, and within a few minutes of climbing up, I could feel the baby rolling. After climbing for about 10 minutes, take another test! really! The baby finally turned sideways. I was so touched! ! So I finally got the facial image! I thought it would take an old mother a day to become a fourth-dimensional person!

First, if your baby doesn’t move much in the morning, don’t make an appointment to do four-dimensional exercises in the morning. Babies also have their own regular activities. I am one of those people whose babies basically don’t move in the morning, so I was asked to do it. Whether I'm rushing out to eat or climbing the stairs, I can't feel it moving, so of course the posture remains unchanged.

Second, if all the online methods of eating chocolate, climbing stairs, and drinking hot water don’t work, I suggest you borrow a bed from a doctor or nurse and lie down until you feel it is moving. Only then can there be a possibility of turning over.

Okay, the above is my experience sharing about doing four-dimensional exercises during pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to you. My name is @MUMUGrowthDiary. I am here to share my pregnancy experience and grow with you.

I am very happy to answer this question

I just had a major surgery a few years ago, so I would like to share my experience. My little baby has always been shy. He always lay down after so many ultrasounds, which made me very anxious. The appointment was for a major surgery at 24 weeks. When I did it for the first time in the morning, the doctor told me to go out for a walk while on my side. Well, I went out and climbed the stairs for two hours and then did it again when I got back. The doctor said I didn’t have to wait. , I lie down so tight that I can’t see my face at all. Let's have something sweet for lunch, take a good rest, and do it again in the afternoon. Well, after lunch, I prepared two more pieces of chocolate and a pack of purple candies. When it was almost my turn, I ate one piece of chocolate and three pieces of purple candies. I felt that the baby was moving very much, so I would definitely succeed, but The B-ultrasound doctor directly said to go home and educate the baby well. There is no chance today. I made it after a full meal the next morning, and it was a success the first time. The doctor said that I had tried it several times before but failed. I was the first one to pass it the first time. It felt like winning a lottery.

It is best to choose a state where the baby is more excited to do four-dimensional exercises. For example, before and after meals, if the baby is lying on his stomach, you can go outside and walk around, talk to the baby, play music, wake up the baby, and then do it. The inspection sometimes takes several times to complete. No matter what, the four-dimensional inspection must not be sloppy. I hope the baby will grow up healthily (opinions are for reference only)
