What is Occipito transverse position?
Occiput transverse (OT) position is a type of fetal cephalic malposition in which the sagittal suture and fontanels align 0 to <15 degrees from the transverse plane of the maternal pelvis (figure 1).
Which position of baby is best for normal delivery?
Ideally for labor, the baby is positioned head-down, facing the mother’s back with the chin tucked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis. This position is called cephalic presentation. Most babies settle into this position within the 32nd to 36th weeks of pregnancy.
What is anterior position?
Anterior position This position means the fetus’s head is down in the pelvis, facing the woman’s back. The fetus’s back will be facing the woman’s belly. This position means the fetus’s head can be tucked in, allowing the top of it to press down on the cervix, which encourages it to open during labor.
What is left occiput anterior position?
Left occiput anterior (LOA) means the back of your baby’s head is anterior (near the pubic bone) and slightly rotated to your left. Your baby will enter your birth canal facing the area between your spine and right hip.
What CEPH mean in pregnancy?
Presentation may be cephalic (CEPH, also called vertex = Vx), which means baby’s head is entering the pelvis first or breech, which means baby’s bottom or feet are coming first.
What is direct op presentation?
The direct OP is the classic posterior position with the baby facing straight forward. Right Occiput Transverse (ROT) is a common starting position in which the baby has a bit more likelihood of rotating to the posterior during labor than to the anterior.
What is left occiput transverse?
When facing out toward the mother’s right thigh, the baby is said to be left occiput transverse (LOT). This position is halfway between a posterior and anterior position. If the baby was previously in a posterior position (in either direction), the LOT position indicates positive movement toward an anterior position.
