Fetal Positions
The fetus moves into position as your body prepares for delivery. In the weeks before your due date, the fetus may drop lower in the uterus. Some positions can cause problems for both mother and baby.
Complete Breech | Transverse Lie | Footling Breech
Most Common Position
Ideally for labor, the baby presents head-down, facing the mother's back, with its chin tucked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis.
