Study Notes
Prolonged Pregnancy
- A pregnancy considered prolonged typically exceeds 42 weeks of gestation.
Abnormal Fetal Presentation
- An abnormal fetal presentation occurs when the fetus is not head-down at the time of delivery.
- Positions such as transverse lie or breech presentation are classified as abnormal; however, vertex presentation is normal.
Breech Presentation Types
- Breech presentations include various types such as frank, complete, and footling breech.
- Positions where the fetus remains head-down do not fall under breech classifications.
Contributing Factors to Transverse and Oblique Lie Positions
- Factors that can lead to transverse or oblique lies include uterine abnormalities, excessive amniotic fluid, or fetal anomalies.
- A lack of adequate space for the fetus due to multiple gestations can also contribute.
Unstable Lie
- Unstable lie refers to a situation where the fetus does not remain in one position and changes frequently between different presentations.
- This can occur due to factors such as increased uterine mobility or fetal activity.
