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

Normal

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.
