Study Notes
Fetal Positions in Delivery
- In occiput posterior delivery, the baby's back is against their back, meaning the occiput (back of the head) is posterior.
- In breech delivery, the baby's feet or buttocks are positioned to be born first.
- Face-up (occiput anterior) position is not mentioned, but in this position, the baby's face would be down towards the mother's spine.
- In a specific type of delivery, the baby presents with the occiput positioned at the mother's sacrum, which means the back of the baby's head is near the mother's tailbone.
