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.
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.
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
Head first (called vertex or cephalic presentation) Facing backward (occiput anterior position) Spine parallel to mother's spine (longitudinal lie) Neck bent forward with chin tucked. Arms folded across the chest . If the fetus is in a different position, lie, or presentation, labor may be more difficult, and a normal vaginal delivery may not ...
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. The most common ...
Your Guide to Fetal Positions before Childbirth
Most babies settle into their final position somewhere between 32 to 36 weeks gestation. Head Down, Facing Down (Cephalic Presentation) This is the most common position for babies in-utero. In the cephalic presentation, the baby is head down, chin tucked to chest, facing their mother's back.
Cephalic presentation
The movement of the fetus to cephalic presentation is called head engagement.It occurs in the third trimester.In head engagement, the fetal head descends into the pelvic cavity so that only a small part (or none) of it can be felt abdominally. The perineum and cervix are further flattened and the head may be felt vaginally. [2] Head engagement is known colloquially as the baby drop, and in ...
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.
Chapter 63: External Cephalic Version
Breech presentation occurs in 3% to 4% of labors. 1 It is more common earlier in gestation, with 25% of pregnancies <28 weeks and 7% of pregnancies at 32 weeks being complicated by breech presentation. 1 There are three types of breech presentation: frank, complete, and incomplete (also known as footling) ().Factors associated with breech presentation include such fetal malformations as ...
Common baby positions during pregnancy and labor
Cephalic presentation, occiput anterior. This is the best position for labor. Your baby is head-down, their face is turned toward your back, and their chin is tucked to their chest. This allows the back of your baby's head to easily enter your pelvis when the time is right. Most babies settle into this position by week 36 of pregnancy.
Abnormal Fetal lie, Malpresentation and Malposition
If the fetal lie is abnormal, an external cephalic version (ECV) can be attempted - ideally between 36 and 38 weeks gestation. ECV is the manipulation of the fetus to a cephalic presentation through the maternal abdomen. It has an approximate success rate of 50% in primiparous women and 60% in multiparous women.
Reviving external cephalic version: a review of its efficacy, safety
Non-cephalic presentations are common in preterm pregnancies and their rate gradually decreases with increasing gestational age. Breech presentation, which is the most common non-cephalic presentation, occurs in 25% of fetuses before 28 weeks of gestation, and this rate decreases to 7% by 32 weeks of gestation and further to 3-4% at term .

A total of 18 019 ultrasound examinations were used. From 22 to 36 weeks of gestation, the prevalence of cephalic presentation increased from 47% (45-50%) to 94% (91-96%), before and after which times plateaus were noted. Spontaneous change from breech to cephalic is unlikely to occur after 36 weeks of gestation.
Cephalic version by moxibustion for breech presentation
8.3 Non‐cephalic presentation at 37 + 2 weeks' gestation There is very little evidence about the effect of moxibustion plus acupuncture plus usual care compared to laser placebo plus usual care on the number of women with non‐cephalic presentation at the end of treatment, 37 + 2 weeks' gestation (1 trial, 328 women; RR 1.13, 95% CI 0.98 to ...
Cephalic Presentation of Baby During Pregnancy
Cephalic Occiput Posterior. In this position, the baby is in the head-down position but the baby's face is turned towards the mother's belly. This type of cephalic presentation is not the best position for delivery as the baby's head could get stuck owing to its wide position. Almost 5% of the babies in cephalic presentation settle into ...
Possible explanation of cephalic and noncephalic presentation during
This paper is based on fact that the fetus is exposed to gravity. The hypothesis is that from the 24th week of gestation an increasing percentage of fetuses occupies an exclusively cephalic presentation, since it allows an uncompromised posture in the caudal direction of body segments whose muscles are first affected by the occurrence and progressive increase of tone.
