Engagement

Flexion or Engagement (from English engagement - “occupation, employment”) is a stage of pregnancy that occurs when the fetal head descends into the mother’s pelvic area. This is a very important stage for the birth of a child, as the fetal head must pass through the upper opening of the pelvis in order to emerge.

Flexion can occur at any stage of pregnancy, but it most often occurs in the last weeks of pregnancy. At this point, the fetus begins to descend into the pelvic area, and the fetal head becomes the widest part. This stage can be difficult for the mother as she may experience pain and discomfort due to pressure on the pelvic area.

During flexion, the doctor may perform some examinations to ensure that the fetal head is positioned correctly and is ready for birth. If everything goes well, the doctor may prescribe a cesarean section or natural birth.

However, if the fetal head does not pass through the superior opening of the pelvis or if there are other problems, then additional testing or treatment may be required. In any case, it is important to monitor your condition while bending and consult a doctor if necessary.

Flexion or Engagement is a term used in obstetrics to describe the stage of pregnancy that occurs when the presenting (head) part of the fetus descends and passes through the superior opening of the mother's pelvis. This is an important stage in the birth process that can lead to various complications if not handled correctly.

Flexion occurs at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, when the fetal head begins to descend and pass through the opening. This may be due to various factors, such as increased fetal weight, widening of the pelvic bones and decreased tone of the pelvic floor muscles.

If flexion is not performed correctly, it can lead to complications such as fetal malposition, premature birth, or uterine rupture. In this case, surgery may be required.

To avoid complications, it is necessary to monitor the bending process and, if necessary, consult a doctor. It is also important to properly prepare for childbirth, including exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and proper nutrition.

Overall, flexion is an important step in the birth process and requires special attention and preparation. If everything is done correctly, this will help avoid possible complications and ensure a safe birth process for mother and child.

Flexions in obstetrics

Flexion is the stage of pregnancy in which the presenting stage, i.e. the lower part of the fetus begins to descend from the uterine cavity into the woman’s pelvic cavity. This moment is quite often accompanied by mild, but very unpleasant contractions, which lead to the pregnant woman experiencing discomfort and even getting minor injuries (especially when walking). At this time, the uterus contracts, squeezing out the presenting part of the baby
