Thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor and welcome to the portal of beat physicians from all over the globe. Your wife needs to go for prenatal visit. OT is utmost important. And I am telling you, this is the most important and inevitable task you both need right now. Why?we have to see fetus growth, any anomaly, presentation of the baby in uterus, length (CR) of fetus and a lot more aspects of pregnancy. Outcome of the delivery depends mainly on prenatal are. If fetus has head upside (called breech Presentation of fetus) that is difficult, complicated and risky to deliver normally through vagina. We have to go for a C-Section surgery for that delivery. Your prenatal visit is important as this will also decide the outcome of delivery. We will also be able to see the fetal growth. I have operated on many women who had this issue of exaggerated fetal movements and the reason being Umbilical Cord was so long that it was twisted around the neck of fetus. Fetus then moves a lot near term with entangled cord. Hope it was all needed to be answered for. Just in case you have doubts, you are free to contact back anytime. Healthiest Regards!
