Fetal presentation: Breech, posterior, transverse lie, and …
In a transverse lie, the baby is lying horizontally in your uterus and may be facing up toward your head or down toward your feet. Babies settle this way less than 1 percent of the time, but it happens more commonly if you're …
Presentation (obstetrics)
• Definition: Relationship of fetal head to spine: • Relationship of presenting part to maternal pelvis based on presentation. The fetus enters the pelvis in the occipito-transverse plane (left or right), descent, and flexion and then rotates 90 degrees to the occipitoanterior (most commonly). • Definition: Relationship between the longitudinal axis of fetus and mother:
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech …
Presentation refers to the part of the fetus’s body that leads the way out through the birth canal (called the presenting part). Usually, the head leads the way, but sometimes the buttocks (breech presentation), shoulder, or face leads the way.
7.6 Transverse lie and shoulder presentation
A transverse lie constitutes an absolute foeto-pelvic disproportion, and vaginal delivery is impossible. This is an obstetric emergency, because labour is obstructed and there is a risk of uterine rupture and foetal distress.
Transverse fetal lie
Transverse lie refers to a fetal presentation in which the fetal longitudinal axis lies perpendicular to the long axis of the uterus. It can occur in either of two configurations: …
Shoulder Presentation and unstable lie
Shoulder Presentation (Transverse or Oblique lie) Definition. The longitudinal axis of the foetus does not coincide with that of the mother. These are the most hazardous …
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, …
