Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
In face presentation, the baby's neck arches back so that the face presents first rather than the top of the head.. In brow presentation, the neck is moderately arched so that the brow presents first.. Usually, fetuses do not stay in a face or brow presentation. These presentations often change to a vertex (top of the head) presentation before or during labor.
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
In breech presentation, the presenting part is a poor dilating wedge, which can cause the head to be trapped during delivery, often compressing the umbilical cord. For breech presentation, usually do cesarean delivery at 39 weeks or during labor, but external cephalic version is sometimes successful before labor, usually at 37 or 38 weeks.
Cephalic Position: Understanding Your Baby's Presentation at Birth
Cephalic occiput posterior. Your baby is head down with their face turned toward your belly. This can make delivery a bit harder because the head is wider this way and more likely to get stuck ...
Fetal presentation before birth
Frank breech. When a baby's feet or buttocks are in place to come out first during birth, it's called a breech presentation. This happens in about 3% to 4% of babies close to the time of birth. The baby shown below is in a frank breech presentation. That's when the knees aren't bent, and the feet are close to the baby's head.
If Your Baby Is Breech
External cephalic version (ECV) is an attempt to turn the fetus so that he or she is head down. ECV can improve your chance of having a vaginal birth. If the fetus is breech and your pregnancy is greater than 36 weeks your health care professional may suggest ECV. ... Breech Presentation: A position in which the feet or buttocks of the fetus ...
Delivery, Face and Brow Presentation
The term presentation describes the leading part of the fetus or the anatomical structure closest to the maternal pelvic inlet during labor. The presentation can roughly be divided into the following classifications: cephalic, breech, shoulder, and compound. Cephalic presentation is the most common and can be further subclassified as vertex, sinciput, brow, face, and chin.
External cephalic version: a retrospective chart review at a Canadian
The prevalence of breech presentation at term is approximately 3-4% 1. It is the third most common indication for planned cesarean delivery after fetal heart rate abnormalities and labour dystocia. While breech presentation independently confers worse perinatal outcomes compared with cephalic presentation, this phenomenon is further compounded ...
Breech presentation
Breech presentation in pregnancy occurs when a baby presents with the buttocks or feet rather than the head first (cephalic presentation) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the baby. Cunningham F, Gant N, Leveno K, et al. Williams obstetrics. 21st ed. New York: McGraw-Hill; 1997. Kish K, Collea JV.
The Evidence on: Breech Version
Breech position (bottom first) is present in 3% to 4% of term pregnancies. Breech positioning is common prior to term—25% are breech before 28 weeks, but by 32 weeks only 7% of babies are breech. The vast majority of breech babies in the United States (U.S.) are now born by planned Cesarean (Table 1). The use of a safe procedure to help turn ...
10.02 Key Terms Related to Fetal Positions
The vertex or cephalic (head), breech, and shoulder are the three types of presentations. In vertex or cephalic, the head comes down first. In breech, the feet or buttocks comes down first, and last-in shoulder, the arm or shoulder comes down first. This is usually referred to as a transverse lie. Figure 10-1. Typical types of presentations.
Management of Breech Presentation (Green-top Guideline No. 20b)
Information regarding external cephalic version is the topic of the separate Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Green-top Guideline No. 20a, External Cephalic Version and Reducing the Incidence of Term Breech Presentation. Breech presentation occurs in 3-4% of term deliveries and is more common in preterm deliveries and ...
Abnormal Presentation
Breech Presentation Frank breech means the buttocks are presenting and the legs are up along the fetal chest. The fetal feet are next to the fetal face. This is the safest arrangement for breech delivery. Footling breech means either one foot ("Single Footling") or both feet ("Double Footling") is presenting. This is also known as an incomplete breech.
Your Guide to Fetal Positions before Childbirth
In the cephalic presentation, the baby is head down, chin tucked to chest, facing their mother's back. This position typically allows for the smoothest delivery, as baby's head can easily move down the birth canal and under the pubic bone during childbirth. ... Breech Presentations. Breech presentation happens when your little one's feet ...
Overview of breech presentation
The main types of breech presentation are: Frank breech - Both hips are flexed and both knees are extended so that the feet are adjacent to the head (figure 1); accounts for 50 to 70 percent of breech fetuses at term. Complete breech - Both hips and both knees are flexed (figure 2); accounts for 5 to 10 percent of breech fetuses at term.
Baby Positions in Womb: What They Mean

Cephalic Position During Labor: Purpose, Risks, and More
The cephalic position is when a fetus is head down when it is ready to enter the birth canal. This is one of a few variations of how a fetus can rest in the womb and is considered the ideal one for labor and delivery. About 96% of babies are born in the cephalic position. Most settle into it between the 32nd and 36th weeks of pregnancy.
Delivery in breech presentation: Perinatal outcome and
A total of 130 breech deliveries were matched with 130 cephalic deliveries. No perinatal mortality occurred in either group. The C-section percentage was greater in the breech presentation group compared with the cephalic delivery group (72.3 % vs. 14.6 %; p < 0.001). Children in the breech presentation had a threefold increased risk for Apgar scores <7 at 1 min (OR 3.2; 95 % CI: 1.2-8.4; p ...
Breech Presentation
Breech presentation refers to the fetus in the longitudinal lie with the buttocks or lower extremity entering the pelvis first. The 3 types of breech presentation are frank, complete, and incomplete. In a frank breech, the fetus has flexion of both hips, and the legs are straight with the feet near the fetal face, in a pike position. The complete breech has the fetus sitting with flexion of ...
Clinical Tips of Cesarean Section in Case of Breech, Transverse
Cesarean section in breech or transverse presentation involves more complicated procedures than cesarean section in cephalic presentation because the former requires additional manipulations for guiding the presenting part of the fetus, liberation of the arms, and the after-coming head delivery; therefore, those cesarean sections are likely to be more invasive.
