Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech ...
Lie refers to the angle of the fetus in relation to the mother and the uterus. Up-and-down (with the baby's spine parallel to mother's spine, called longitudinal) is normal, but sometimes the lie is sideways (transverse) or at an angle (oblique).
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech ...
Fetal position: Relation of the presenting part to an anatomic axis; for vertex presentation, occiput anterior, occiput posterior, occiput transverse. Fetallie: Relation of the fetus to the long axis of the uterus; longitudinal, oblique, or transverse.
Fetal presentation: Breech, posterior, transverse lie, and more
Fetalpresentation, or how your baby is situated in your womb at birth, is determined by the body part that's positioned to come out first, and it can affect the way you deliver. At the time of delivery, 97 percent of babies are head-down (cephalic presentation).
Abnormal Fetal lie, Malpresentation and Malposition
Lie – the relationship between the long axis of the fetus and the mother. Presentation – the fetal part that first enters the maternal pelvis. Position – the position of the fetal head as it exits the birth canal. Other positions include occipito-posterior and occipito-transverse.
Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech ...
Normal fetal lie islongitudinal, normal presentation is vertex, and occiput anterior is the most common position. Abnormal fetal lie, presentation, or position may occur with Fetopelvic disproportion (fetus too large for the pelvic inlet)
Ultrasound determination of fetal lie and presentation
The fetalpresentation describes the fetal part that is lowest in the maternal abdomen. In case of labor, it is the lowest fetal part in the birth canal. Many fetalpresentations are possible: Cephalic presentation: the fetal head is the lowest fetal part.
Breech Presentation - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Breech presentation refers to the fetus in the longitudinal lie with the buttocks or lower extremity entering the pelvis first. The three types of breech presentation are frank, complete, and incomplete.
Fetal presentation before birth - Mayo Clinic
When a baby is sideways — lying horizontal across the uterus, rather than vertical — it's called a transverse lie. In this position, the baby's back might be: Down, with the back facing the birth canal.
Fetal Positions For Birth: Presentation, Types & Function
Fetal lie describes how the fetus’s spine lines up with its birth parent’s spine. Ideally, they line up vertically because the fetus’s head is down in the birth canal. This is calledlongitudinallie. If the fetus is sideways or horizontally across the uterus, it’s in a transverse lie.
