abnormal fetal presentations

What are the Types of Abnormal Fetal Presentations?

The most common types of abnormal fetal presentations include:
1. Breech Presentation: The baby is positioned with its buttocks or feet pointed towards the birth canal. This can be further classified into frank breech, complete breech, and footling breech.
2. Transverse Lie: The baby lies horizontally in the uterus, making vaginal delivery nearly impossible.
3. Face Presentation: The baby’s face is the presenting part, which can lead to complications during delivery.
4. Shoulder Presentation: The baby’s shoulder presents first, usually in a transverse lie.
