Sacrum anterior (SA)—the buttocks face anteriorly. Sacrum posterior (SP)—the buttocks face posteriorly. Shoulder presentation with transverse lie are classified into four types, based on the location of the scapula (shoulderblade); note: the presentation is significantly different from asynclitic positioning , and in most cases needs to be ...
Sacrum posterior (SP)—the buttocks face posteriorly. Shoulder presentations with transverse lie are classified into four types, based on the location of the scapula (shoulder blade). This presentation needs to be delivered by cesarean section. Left scapula-anterior (LSA) Right scapula-anterior (RSA) Left scapula-posterior (LSP)
Posterior asynclitism is when the fetal occiput is facing the mother's spine, and anterior asynclitism is when the fetal occiput is facing the mother's belly. The most common and preferred type of asynclitism is the left occiput anterior asynclitism because the baby's head enters the pelvis in such a way that it minimizes the circumference of ...
In an occiput posterior position, labor becomes prolonged, and more operative interventions are deemed necessary. [4] The prevalence of the persistent occiput posterior is given as 4.7%. [4] The vertex presentations are further classified according to the position of the occiput, both right, left, or transverse and anterior or posterior:
Pregnant women have a decreased perception of balance during quiet standing, which is confirmed by an increase in anterior-posterior (front to back) sway. [41] This relationship heightens as pregnancy progresses and significantly decreases postpartum. To compensate for the decrease in balance stability (both actual and perceived), stance width ...
A retroverted uterus (tilted uterus, tipped uterus) is a uterus that is oriented posteriorly, towards the rectum in the back of the body. This is in contrast to the typical uterus, which is oriented forward (slightly "anteverted") toward the bladder, with the anterior part slightly concave.
Back labor (less commonly called posterior labor [1] [2]) is a term referring to sensations of pain or discomfort that occur in the lower back, just above the tailbone, to a mother during childbirth. [ 3 ]
In obstetrics, a shoulder presentation is a malpresentation at childbirth where the baby is in a transverse lie (its vertebral column is perpendicular to that of the mother), thus the leading part (the part that first enters the birth canal) is an arm, a shoulder, or the trunk.
