The presentation of the baby

While in the great majority of babies are born by passing first the head, some of them appear in a different position may require a cesarean.

The different positions Baby

The position in which your baby is likely to be born, since it is the natural position, called the cephalic position, his head snaps slightly bent towards the bottom of the womb while her legs up toward the above. Your baby does not take this position and around the seventh month of pregnancy, as it seeks the position where he will have more room. So for seven months, your baby's head up!

If your baby has not been able to return (eg if the shape of your uterus does not allow it or if it is born prematurely), there will be so in complete seat, ie sitting cross-legged with the head in the top of the uterus and buttocks headed toward the exit. When the baby is breech, it is possible to give birth by natural means if the pelvis of the mother is sufficiently large. If not, or if the delivery is becoming too risky, the doctor may decide to perform a caesarean section.

Your baby may also occur in breech

The difference is that the entire seat in this position the baby is certainly sit with your buttocks down and head up, but instead of having his legged, they are found on both sides of head. Although natural childbirth is still possible, the doctor offers very often in this case a Caesarean to prevent your baby, dislocated hip, or other complications occur during childbirth.

Your baby may finally appear in transverse position

This means that instead of being upright, it is horizontal as lying along the collar, in which case the first part he presents is one of his shoulders. In this case, the vaginal delivery is possible because it is too risky, and the doctor offers a readily caesarean. If your baby still has not returned to the seventh month, the doctor may practice a version that is to return, by external manipulations, your baby in the right direction for the delivery.
