Cephalic Presentation
Cephalic Presentation refers to the position of a fetus during childbirth where the head is positioned to come out first. This is the most common and favorable position for delivery, as it allows for a smoother passage through the birth canal. In this position, the baby's chin is typically tucked down towards the chest, which helps to reduce the diameter of the head.
There are different types of cephalic presentations, including the vertex presentation, where the top of the head leads the way, and the brow or face presentations, where the forehead or face is positioned first. Proper positioning is crucial for a safe and efficient delivery process.
